socalgal Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 My customer brought me this quilt today. So cool and her own design. I just cannot think of what to do with it. She wants a masculine desing, no feathers, flowers or froo-froo. Any ideas are welcome. I have 3 photos. Here is the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrat Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 How about flames in the star points and a background filler for the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams Mom Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 OH MY GOSH! ITS MY BEST FRIEND SOCALGAL. You must have known, I was just thinking about you earlier!

socalgal Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Donna, Of course, I remember you. You are my newest best friend. How could I forget all the fun we had together. Linda just left. She helped me post the quilt pictures. Thank goodness someone knows how to work a computer. SoCalGal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams Mom Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I love that people think feathers are feminine, as I\'m sure that boy ducks would heartely disagree. Anyway, I think that cross hatching in the white part, large scale like SID width and through the center of the pieces, both ways would look cool. I like the flame aspect too (boyish) but maybe with respect to the color changes in the blue. So, go from light to less light, one color, flame from corner to point, and move out, two or three times. The other options would be to continuous curve in the blue parts. Did you take the border class from Deloa Jones. Her pineapple tops in the outer borders would look great too. Its a beautiful top, I can\'t wait to see the finished project! Oh, SoCalGal!, I\'ve missed you. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyA Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I saw a quilt at MQX that was done by one of the instructors. It was a lone star with applique in the corners. She did flames in the star. I think that would look amazing on this quilt. If this interests you I\'ll look up the instructor and get the name of the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 SoCalGal, I was thinking about you yesterday too....I was thinking that you had forgotten all about us...Kind of outta sight outta mind kinda of thing. So happy to see you posting. How could you forget Donna, isn\'t she the one who pinned that name on you? Awesome quilt. I have no ideas....but it is awesome. I do like the idea of flame-like quilting. Can\'t wait to see the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I wondered about water designs or ocean waves look. The colors make me think of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 What about just SID every piece, or doing perpendicular lines to the piecing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
