I'm Falling For You .......................

Diane, the tweaked version looks perfect. I think I may have to add that one to my WIM list too. That list has a way of growing on it's own too.

 

Linda I like that square. It doesn't look like it's too hard to do either. Thank you for showing it to us.

Linda, I think that is going to work for my stems! That's great! Thank you so much for that. My next challenge is to figure out my colors. I know I am going to do the leaves in a few different colors but i am trying to decide whether to do the backgrounds in all one color or if I should alternate those as well.

[ginamaria73]

Here's her explanation/directions for the bi-color square.

 

One way to do the maple leaf stems would be a bi-color square done this way. It might be a little too thick, but you could try it. I used this as part of my train quilt ghan's smile and it worked great there:

Do the center in the stem color as usual, then do a ch3, 2 dc, ch1, 3 dc using the stem color in the first corner; change to the background color and do a ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc in the next corner; change to the stem color and do a ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc in the third corner; change to the background color and do the final corner in that; ch1, join and end square.

Thank you for all the comments!

 

I think I will leave it alone and see if anyone does alternative combination! I really like the design. Another thought, I might change suns to leaves or something. Then I would change sky blue background to other color, not sure what.

[ginamaria73]

That would be cool too Diane.

Here's a close up of the diagonal bi-color.

 

 

Linda thats amazing. That would sure help with curves etc in designs.

Has anyone made a decision on a pattern yet? Our cooler weather today has me thinking more about Fall! :leaf :leaf

[Aussie]

Mary howdy, no still havent decided as yet.

[tahlara]

Julie - I suggest that some links need to be fixed on first post. New leaves' link didn't work (at least for me). And the last link was repasted from previous link above it.

[JulieKay]

Whoops, thanks Diane - I'll go check it out .

[JulieKay]

ok, I think they are all working links now--

Still a little less than 2 weeks for more new designs if anyone has any ~

Thanks for the Bump, little Miss Spam .....

[ginamaria73]

I am doing the leaves for sure, and now that I know theres a way to do the stems, i am excited to get started. havent gotten all my colors yet though.

[tahlara]

I decide not to join in and make an afghan, but I am glad that I have an opportunity to be creative. Thank you! I have to attack the gifts list and WIPs for the rest of the year. I will stay in and cheer on!

Hello all - I know this doesn't have anything to do with fall - but while surfing, I came across this quilt - which I think is adorable. I drew it up on graph paper and it would be really easy to do in crochet - maybe someday

Oh that is just TOO cute!! May have to work on that one myself Yeah right...right after I finish my 7 Navajo projects, my Baby Blocks, my Fall Ghan, a couple of BICOs, another baby ghan and about 6 sewing projects. Oh did I mention that they all need to be done by the end of the year?

[bgnagy]

You can do it, Cara!!!!

 

Although I don't have any plans to start this cat-quilt any time in the foreseeable future - I would like to see it all graphed out - alas I don't know how to do it on the computer. I don't have any fancy software like photo shop, is there any other way to do it - right now I just have two squares drawn up on graph paper w/no color.

[tahlara]

The Cat ghan is so cute! One of the people can do it for you. I use Paint available on all the computers. (I don't know about Macs). I do print preview with the grid paper that Misa posted earlier on this thread. Just use bucket fill to fill out each squares.

[sewnsew]

Oh Barbara, that is cute. I like it. It will be going on the WIM list. Boy that list is sure growing alot lately.

[bgnagy]

Thanks Diane - I tried in using paint - but I'm soooo computer illiterate when it comes to that kind of stuff that! I managed to get one square done to show, but I think I raised my bp by about 30 points in the process. Anyway, here's what I came up with
