Well, mine is currants! This is one of those "easy to make" but "easier to mess up" designs. The layout of each block is critical, or the secondary pattern won't emerge.
I only had to "un-sew" and "re-sew" three or four blocks because the HSTs were turned the wrong way!
I'm thinking a "curvy straight-line" quilting design with purple thread. What do you think? This is Quilt #23 for 2013 -- if I finish one more before Friday, I'll be caught up for 52 Quilts in 52 Weeks.
I have a new tool to share with you tomorrow. Come back for "Tuesday Tool!"
From the desk of your

I like your version, currants, better! And curvy-straight-line quilting with purple thread sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour purple version is fabulous, Marti. I like the idea of a "curvy straight line" quilting on it.
ReplyDeletePurple thread is my go to for quilting. I love it for nearly any project. Gives pieces an air of elan that may have been missing !~!
ReplyDeleteCurrents or Currants - both look like a great pattern - I'd always go purple as first choice and a wavy quilting line will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect stitch on my Bernina - #4 elongated - it is my "go-to" stitch for all my charity quilts and I call it stitching in the vicinity of the ditch. I can go zoomy fast. I have oodles of purple fabric and I love the pattern you have shown - gotta try it!
ReplyDeleteI like your purple currants and your idea for the quilting should suit it perfectly. I like that design, another one to add to the 'to make' list.
ReplyDeleteWow....that is a great pattern! Purple quilting would look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love purple, love this and I think your quilting plan is great! Such an eye-catching pattern.
ReplyDeleteThe purple is beautiful! I love the pattern....you are awesome!
