Tear Drop Quilt

Once upon a time, 21 September 2010 to be exact, I decided this border was too heavy for this center. I abandoned the border and went looking for one that was more in scale with the center.

But, what if I abandon the center and go looking for one that is more in keeping with the scale of the border?

Curved Tear Drop

I want to create an applique design for a quilt top using only this curved tear drop shape.



Normally I start Designing in the center of a quilt.  What if I start in the corners this time?

This corner design reminds me of leaves.

Tear Drop Flower Quilt

I used this applique flower design on 30 September 2010 to create several designs.

Today I want to explore using some of those designs in quilt tops.

This applique design comes from my 21 July 2010 post. It is made using pieces cut with the feather die for the Go fabric cutter.

I don't know what to call it; but I want to see what I can do with it.

Swoosh Quilt

I was looking at this applique quilt that I designed 16 September 2010, when it occured to me that the corners are crowded. They are busy and detract from the quilt.

Swoosh Quilt

I was looking through some of my old posts and I found this placemat from 3 August 2010.

It is made by appliqueing simple swoosh shapes. Each one is about 1 1/2" x 2 3/4".

Friendship Star Quilt

This quilt top comes from my 7 September 2010 post, where I said I thought it was a good start to an applique quilt.

Today I'm adding the applique.

This tessellated pattern is made by repeating a simple rotated block.

I want to see what it looks like in various colors.

And I want to try appliqueing on it with this figure composed of pieces cut on my Go fabric die cutter.

Starting with circles that are 4", 3" and 2" in diameter, I want to see what sort of applique patterns I can create.

Mixed Tear Drop Placemat

Using these 2 tear drop shapes, cut on my Go fabric cutter, and my design wall, I want to create 12" x 16" floral placemats.

Mixed Tear Drops

My Go fabric cutter cuts 2 different tear drop shapes. I've used them individually to create applique patterns. What if I try using both of them to create a series of designs?

Tear Drop Placemat

What if I cut simple tear drop shapes like this using my Go fabric cutter and use them to make 12" x 18" placemats?

I have a 12" x 18" cutting mat; what if I use it to design on?
