Today i got out some plain fabric and played with the Quiltazoid. i haven't done it in a while and wanted to see what i could make.
Here is the whole piece. it's about 36x52...the back is the same as the binding. and the 'batting' is a microfleece blanket i found at a thrift store for 99 cents. it will be a donation quilt.
And here are the 'blocks'.
#1 dresden plate....of course, the frame in wonky. lesson learned...watch where you start and make the frame straight. .... or not. hahahahah
#2 i was trying to stitch as i stepped and i didn't hold the stylus in place every time so i got a bit wonky here, too. siiggghh!
#3 i think this one is my favorite but it kind of got cut off when i straightened up the side of the quilt before binding.
#4 i like the frame around this one. i went back to put in the middle after i had moved to another block. lesson learned...you can't go back and hit the middle again...even if it is marked.
#5 simple curved crosshatching
#6 this is kind of neat, too. kind of like ribbons
#7 stars and sun and moon and i think a lightning bolt. LOL
#8 wavy lines crossed over each other
#9 i like the frame around this one, too. it looks like octupus holding hands. LOL
#10 just messing with circles
#11 and a feathered wreath
My favorite is #3...which is your favorite?
i ordered more toys from Quiltazoid yesterday....more individual templates...crosses; snowflakes; ovals; regal; pinched square spiral; and #16..which doesn't have a name but lookes like leaves...sort of. and got the simply ornate continuous templates and a 2" clamshell. they should be here in 2 or 3 weeks....so i see another play day in my future. woohoo!!
tomorrow i am going to try a row quilt pieced and quilted on the longarm. Deb Levy showed us how to do this some time ago in a video on MQR. i better go do some things i learned.
And i am working on a stained glass angel from quilt class....i hope to show that to you in a few days. it's my first try at stained glass quilting.
OK...back to work.
later
