ieuneA couple of days ago I bought 2 CD-ROMs of quilting designs as produced by the Electric Quilt Company. This gave me access to 1450+ designs as used in Quiltmaker magazine. Surely there'd be something on one disc that would be suitable for Spring Madness? (I'm getting a bit fed up of it loafing on the spare bed and silently reproaching me for its unfinished status.)
I installed the discs(a doddle) and browsed. Oo! And browsed. Oo-shiny! And browsed. (It takes a while to evaluate 1450+ designs, you know, she said with a grin) And pondered and browsed some more. This morning I printed out designs I thought might work (read: that I liked and don't seem impossible to hand quilt) and I think the final design is settled. Two variations of 'Evening Dew' for blocks and the plain borders, with 'Friendship vine' for the pieced border and centre block.
Although 'Blossom Parade' looked good too. And 'Magic Vine'. Hmm...
