Swirling Petals for the WIN!!

Sometimes you need a pattern that will fill an ENTIRE block, and this super-simple flower works perfectly in that situation…

I always have to draw out the petal designs with my finger before I start, but once the first petal is in place, the rest just follow along!!

I love both the positive and the negative of this design…..

One Decision at a Time!

Yesterday, I wrote about making decisions for this quilt…..

….and that included quilting decisions too.

I finally decided to start with what I knew I wanted to quilt…. straight lines following the diagonals….

When I get through with those, then I will make the NEXT decision and continue……

ONE DECISION AT A TIME!!

Orange Peels for the WIN!!

It is always hard to find easy designs to use for large backgrounds, but I think that the ORANGE PEEL is PERFECT!!

AND, you can have SO much fun when you vary the size of your starting squares…..

So, next time you want a great background, pull out the “ORANGE PEEL”!!
