It looks so comforting. And it makes me think of a quilt from the 1930s or 1940s -- one of those we love, one that speaks of home and comfort. I know you're not happy with it now so it will be interesting to see what changes you make. (Could you do a narrow border in another color, red or some other color you like, and then a wider border?)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-70720194397237898662020-06-22T21:32:09.989-04:002020-06-22T21:32:09.989-04:00Interesting comments on your quilts.

Some of the bigger plaid blocks do line up and you do get a bit of a float look. I wonder if you can move around the bias blocks to get more of the lines to line up. On the other hand, you might want to get this one done and move on to another project.... then you just sew it the way it is! It looks to me that a lot of the bias blocks have the white/black line running directly from the corner.... Have fun with this one.

The problem is not that the blocks are straight set and you cut the plaid fabric on the diagonal. I think the problem is that the plaid wasn't fussy cut to match at the seam lines. If you had fussy cut the plaid so that the exact same line in the pattern went diagonally from corner to corner in every block, then you would have an interesting effect of your white-bordered blocks appearing to "float" against a continuous plaid background. Because your heavy white diagonal lines in the plaids shift in position slightly from one block to the next, the effect is kind of like what happened in Home Ec class when someone cut her plaid skirt without taking the care to match the plaid on the seam lines, or if the plaid was crooked along the hem line. <br />Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-20711342158074015142020-06-22T10:19:58.966-04:002020-06-22T10:19:58.966-04:00I really Like your zig zag

I looked to see if you wrote the size you cut the pieces for the herringbone quilt and I couldn't find anything. I like the size you are cutting them. 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"? For the plaid quilt I think all the colors of the three fabrics match too much. Maybe if the small checked fabric was a different color - I know that would be a lot to change. I am sure you will figure it out and end up with a cool quilt.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-7456425029202397702020-06-22T07:38:15.353-04:002020-06-22T07:38:15.353-04:00The Zigzag quilt looks good.

Maybe you can add the lighter strips to the middle braids and then leave the darker braids on both sides. That would create a pretty cool fade across the quilt. What would happen if you snowballed the corners of the borders on the blocks with a darker brown/black. I'm thinking it needs something to draw the eye along the diagonals in the larger plaid blocks. Maybe a dark square in the corner of the framed blocks? Snowballing would be easier. Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876375845688651131noreply@blogger.com
