Quilt shows are great, aren't they? Thanks for stopping by and commenting.DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-29366864219338094912017-03-13T11:41:59.911-07:002017-03-13T11:41:59.911-07:00I think I will not go the yo-yo route on teh cente...I think I will not go the yo-yo route on teh centers. I kind of agrre with you for the precision style of Whirligigs. For a more homespun style quilt, maybe. The Venice fabric may have been a stash lingering selection but hey, it is Kate Spain and I love her stuff. Even our master bedroom rug is Kate Spain design. I spotted that on the internet before it had even been manufactured and was pending. Soon as it was available I pounced.

Very unexpected, and yet it really works! That yellow-and grey star pattern definitely inspires - I see what you mean about the FMQ. I'm not a huge fan of applique centers on things (especially when the points are as crisp & consistent as yours!) but I guess I can see it if you really want to go for a flower-y feel. On the stars I'll confess I automatically assume they are covering up a mistake when I see a yoyo like that.<br /><br />and, redwork panels! I saw someone online who used old coloring books + redwork to make a pretty cool Hello Kitty quit (red and white patchwork intertwined with Hello kitty line art), and I've downloaded stuff to do something similar with an old Rainbow Brite coloring book, but alas so far I have gotten about 1/8 of the way through shy violet, and that is it. It is a good idea, though, and I bet I could get into needlework while watching TV, if I ever watched TV any more :-P one day, I will have time again! even if it's not for a while. <br /><br />That Venice fabric is definitely eye-catching - I love the colors - but it'll be interesting to see how it blends (or doesn't) with other fabrics in a project.RobinLovesQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916564818055052041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-87873399008544830752017-03-08T03:23:36.198-08:002017-03-08T03:23:36.198-08:00It sounds as if the show was great fun to see =) I...It sounds as if the show was great fun to see =) I understand you feeling inspired.Puppilallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837351265101418178noreply@blogger.com
