futurequilt

Just wanted to get down on e-paper my ideas for future quilts.

- Feathered Star (UFO border round robin): put 1/2 Bethlehem Stars on the pillow end; add slabs to the other three edges and applique vines and 3-D flowers on them, the vines crawling up onto the top of the bed & blooming. Maybe some patchwork flowers and/or mini-stars in the slabs. Pixie may try to eat the 3D flowers; otoh, she's growing more sluglike every day, so by the time they're done, they may be safe. Broderie persed birds, too.

- Streets of Heaven (UFO block round robin): split the collection of blocks into 2 piles, sash and tie them for 2 baby quilts to raffle off.

- Tree Skirt (UFO block round robin): make it!

- Card Trick (DW (dream-work) block round robin): see how many I get and what colors; sash; maybe baby quilt(s)

- Balinese Roosters (DW): if the panel's colors are good for Margaret or Hugh, make her/him a bed quilt using it as a focal point. I see lots of triangles in bright red or blue with this but nothing more yet -- pretty good as I haven't seen the rooster fabric in person yet!

- Something with curved seams.
- A Log Cabin or Pineapple quilt.

Aside from Margaret and Hugh, I would like to make quilts for Deanna, Darrelyn, Dolores, and Judy, and baby quilts for Isabella and Amy's tot-in-progress.
