Tiles on a wall! But I'm thinking quilts!!
Here are some more.

That second one would be perfect for foundation piecing.


That first one I think is called a tessalating pattern (or something like that)

Wooo Hooooo!!!!!!! W/ the few simplifications I made to a couple of the pattern pieces, the lined turned technique and the clear thread, I think I have managed to figure out a way I can do this applique!!!!!!! So Tweety is back in!!!!

And what about this for appliqué ?

What a great idea!

If you did the center work in the applique, then the lined work outside in that raised quilting trapunto technique it would so give the feel of the stone block inspiration.

Oooo, I like that. An applique would take a while... but hey... its only time, right?

I have been working on an applique experiment of my own. I used a needle turn pattern. Rose Hughe's East-Piece Applique technique. and a glue stick to hold everything down. The background fabric I got because I thought( chicken eyes) when I saw it. I think it worked well.
I will keep this one for a center block for my quilt I think. I'ts too much work for a whole quilt. I think the others will be paper pieced.

The background fabric looks good in person on the screen it's way too busy. I will use it for eyes though. I was fun to give this a try.

That is cool. I hope no one thinks that background is to busy b/c mine is pretty close to just as busy. And I love the idea of using the print for the eye, genious!

Yay! I'm thinking of a split background for my block, like green for the bottom and blue for the top. I'm starting to collect my fabric but I'm focusing first on the r/w/b blocks next.
