Off-Center Quilt

Friendship Star

I want to divide a quilt into 4 quadrants using 6" Friendship Stars.

I don't quite like these proportions.

Off-Center Quilt

Pinwheel

This grid is for a 48" x 72" quilt top. I want the center of focus to be where the black square is.

What if I fill the grid with 6" Pinwheel blocks?

Off-Center Quilt

Shoo Fly

This 54" x 66" lap quilt design is made using 6" Shoo Fly blocks.

It's definitely different.  Can I make it work?

Applique

Friendship Star Quilt

Two days ago, 25 August 2010, I designed this quilt top. Now I want to see what happens if I add some applique to it.

Off-center Quilt

Sawtooth Star

I want to design a 72" x 96" quilt top using 6" Sawtooth Stars.

What if I create a series of boxes that nest in the top right corner? I'll start with dark purple stars on the outside and transition to light purple in the center.

Off-Center Quilt

Friendship Star

I want to use 6" Friendship Stars to make a 36" x 48" quilt.

What if I create a rectangular box of blue Friendship Stars?

What if I create a smaller box of red Friendship stars, but instead of centering it I nestle it into the upper right corner?

Off-Center Quilt

Nine Patch

This is a 6 x 8 quilt grid of 12" squares.

When designing a quilt it is usual to make a design that is symmetrical about point A in the center of the quilt.

What if I create a design that is centered about point B instead?
