I have another new lap quilt design that I'd like to share with you. You can find it in McCall’s Quilting July/August 2015 issue. The design is named Nutmeg & Cinnamon. It’s made using “Spice Market” Tonga Treat precuts from Timeless Treasures. By the way, the beautiful quilting for this project was done by Janice Roy of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
I own Electric Quilt (EQ) design software which gives me access to new fabric collections through their “Stash” downloads. I had purchased one of their stashes around the time that this idea came to me. I fell in love with the Timeless Treasures batik collections, so I did mock ups of this design using four other collections. Click on the images to enlarge.
The design was inspired by a doormat I saw that was made of links. You may have seen these in your travels.
I'm the guest blogger of the day on the McCall's Quilting Blog. They are posting an article about how I how I developed this idea into a quilt. It will also show you how I deal with color and value as part of the design process. Visit the blog and find out how to win a Spice Market Tonga Treat from Timeless Treasures just like the one used for the quilt.
