I would go for a simple design of tumbler blocks (around 6in tall to maximise the fabric) using both sides of the fabric and quilting either side of the block lines with a variagated thread.

I love herringbone weaves, it adds a beautiful texture and depth to the fabric. <br />I would love to make a quilt echoing the herringbone using paired flying geese blocks to create arrow type shapes. I would have these in alternating up/down rows to emphasise the herringbone. I'd use both sides of each fabric, my slightly rusty high school maths tells me that I would have 66 possible fabric combinations if I used 2 colours per block, I don't think some of them have enough contrast but I'd try to use at least half of the possibilities. I would try out a few block arrangements, a pleasing mix with some subtle colour transition sounds nice. I'd love to focus just on the oakshott, you've been so generous that I calculate I could make a 42" x 60" lap quilt using these fabrics. I also have some Elements at home that would make a lovely binding!<br />Thanks for the chance to pitch my project, CatSilverCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604788672907156228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-28262978991383654872014-04-17T19:24:05.925+01:002014-04-17T19:24:05.925+01:00I would like to make a circular knitting needle ho...I would like to make a circular knitting needle holder that I am trying design to hold all of mine.

I would piece each row with slight improvised curves between each color, and finish it off with free motion quilting to add texture like wispy clouds. The quilt would finish as a tall (about 2.5 meters) wall hanging that would fit very well from floor to ceiling.
