lotti OFFLINE Posts: 1893 Thank you received: 309	After seeing that great new aaqi quilt I'm also rethinking - of course I've been rethinking my reel- quilt just about every other week... And in the end, it'll probably be something simple and easy and quick... Love Clara's picture, terrie!

crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Thanks for posting the great picture, Rita. Gives me an idea of what to do with my other 41 reels! However, I really like the birdhouse idea from Lynn. I copied it to my pics, but I forget her screen name. I just put " Lynn's Birdhouse TQS" Maybe I can make a small birdhouse and a few 'modern' ones! Like a beach hut in the Alps for Lotti!

Here's the last little spools quilt for AAQI. I used two spools (Jane Ross/'golfbirdiegirl' and Sandy Cunningham/'Sandy2u') together and just white fabric all around. I really like this one and it's making me rethink my plan for all those spools. I have almost all of them (about 75) made into spool blocks already so it would involve some frogging. Hmmm, think, think, think, (as Winnie the Pooh would say.

Love it! - and it's started me thinking about what to do in all the white bits on mine

.....but I must finish my SOTTT quilt - it's so close, probably another hour or so free motion quilting, then I'll be able to bind it.

Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	Very nice, Rita! I like the contemporary look the layout and white background give to your quilt as well as the quilting. I have not started mine yet but think that if I went that route, I would make more use of my quilt (and that is the whole point, I think! ).

I agree that this one is stunning. It would make me rethink plans too! There are worse things than frogging, especially when you are in love with an idea. Can't wait to see what you decide.

Terry, great job! I love how colorful all of the reels are.

I actually have my top done and layered and about 1/2 quilted. Again I love the colors of everyone's reels. I am actually free motion quilting everyone's names and where they are from in the blank squares between the reels. I've outlined the applique and not quite sure what else to do in the border though since I have the lists I thought I could put the rest of the participants in and around the applique.

Rosemary, I don't have a preference for the photos. You said you were changing your design from yor original idea? What did you go with?

Lorna

Design changes planned so far
1. a cup of coffee in the corner - katmartin's reel of course.
2. jiggling about with the reels for the border, might not trim them down widthwise.
3. turn one of the reels into a butterfly (the chaos butterfly that flaps it's wings of course!)

I actually got on & drew on all the diagonal lines for the first set of reels last night, now I can sit down & stitch them sometime (soon?) and then have a play to see if I can work out my new layout plans.

Terrie love your new avatar. You forget how small they are when they are born.

Rosemary that is hilarious! Think I better send you a more appropriate photo - and you can take me down a peg or three.

Lorna you are way ahead of me on the reels quilt. I am going to make mine bigger than Edyta's so that it will fit my kingsize bed. Anybody else got some done?

I take it that you think 'perhaps not' to that page layout

and there was I thinking it pretty

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	Wow ! If that doesn't say Ireland all over it ! The thought of a color-washing strippy crossed my mind, too! But I decided to follow the spool idea instead ! Still haven't got them up on the board !
