The company offers a whole bunch of free patterns on their website, and I've been poking through them to see if anything appeals. Last night I opened up their Beautiful Blooms lap quilt design and I guess I was inspired to play with it. I don't need more lap quilts, we have so many already, so I tend to always size up designs to queen-size beds. (Eventually, we'll have way too many of those too then I don't know what I'll do. I might have to stop quilting.)

Their original quilt design |

This was one of the original designs that I thought was finished. |
Then it occurred to me that some appliqué would look really lovely on this quilt. And it gave me an excuse to play with the appliqué tools.

That center block is a paper-pieced Clematis block I swiped it from Joen Wolfrom's A Garden Party of Quilts. |
Linking up with Design Wall Monday.
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Now I just need to psyche myself up to try applique. =)
DeletePlaying in EQ can be addictive, but it's so nice to be able to try out all kinds of options when you are stuck on a project.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm pretty addicted to playing in Electric Quilt though I think I need to focus on some non-sewing projects for a few weeks. Those taxes are not going to file themselves. LOL
