Jigsaw puzzle quilt
Has anyone started one? I had fabric pulled to start one but got side
tracked when I had to make a hug quilt for a friend. Finished that top today (square in a square with hummingbird focus print). Next week it's back to the jigsaw. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 |

No I haven't started one of those yet, but on my To Do List eventually.
I started this quilt for my cousin, got the center done with 3 appliqué angles on it, did the Eleanor Burns method of appliqué. Well with the background of that piece being blue with silver stars on it, I figured, why not make 6" 8 pointed stars to go around that, then a couple borders. When it is done, I'll post a pic of it at my webshots page.

Nice work. I have a question about your "Wedding Quilt". Why did you call it
suck? Is it the name of the pattern or was it made for someone? See, I have a friend getting married this summer and there is no way I'll make it down for her wedding, but would looove to make her a quilt. I wanted to make her a DWR at first, but time will definitely necessitate an easier pattern. But I would like to stick to a wedding theme. Thanks for your help!

It was made for a friend who is getting married in Mexico in March.
The pattern came from one of the Batik books and I adapted the colors to echo the Mexico/Latino theme--sensual, hot, etc. Thank you, joan Nice work. I have a question about your "Wedding Quilt".

I'll be starting one for my DSF as soon as the fabric arrives. He loves
jigsaw puzzles and I'll be using tonals interspersed with themed fabrics representing some of his interests - mathematics (professor of - I'm using Mrs Nelsons Flashcards), fishing, classical music (found a great one with composers names all over it), leaves (he's always moaning about having to rake the leaves in the garden), football!... that sort of thing. I can't wait to get started! Judy in UK -- Remove NOSPAM to reply "Mary in Oregon" wrote in message ... Has anyone started one?

That will be wonderful. I will be making one as a hug quilt using bright
spring colors and flower prints. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Judy Kerr" wrote in message ... I'll be starting one for my DSF as soon as the fabric arrives.

design software and work out my own pattern from that (unless you'd like to post a few clues???) Main clue is that it's not as easy as it looks. (I tried and gave up.) Not only are there more pieces than one might suspect, but you can get two blocks from each fat quarter, so there are actually two considerations. I'm sure a clever person can replicate the design. I either wasn't clever enough or just lost patience! BTW, the latest Lion Yarn catalog has a jigsaw crocheted afghan. Just may have to get THAT pattern, too, and make a set! joan joan o'reilly http://members.aol.com/Joan8904/index.html |
