AParkerQuilts Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi all. I have just been commissioned to make 4 twin size quilts for a beach house. They will go on bunk beds in a girls bedroom and will be heavily used. They are to be pink and green primarily and the quilting panto that is to be used is a allover shells/waves/beachy pattern (can't think of name off the top of my head). The fabrics will be muted/faded. I am stumped as to a quilt pattern (or two) to use. I want to make them simple so the quiltING shows up. Anybody have any ideas? Pinwheels? Half square triangles (is that too boring) a lasagna quilt??? Thanks for any help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TishMarshall Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 how about yellow brick road............simple, small design......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Or maybe a Turning 20 or a rail fence.....But Yellow Brick Roads are so easy to make you could get the tops done in a good weeks worth of sewing. And with even using the exact fabrics for each quilt top...they would all be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltingbykc Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I love the Turning Twenty, Again. If you use all the same fabrics in each quilt, they will still all have their own personality because the placement won't be exactly the same. use this pattern for graduation gifts because it is quick and easy. I also embroider the person's name on one of the squares. I can't wait to see the pictures when you are finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
