And then, I played around with it some more and got this. I think I’m done now….but that is what I thought last time.

 

Another Hero Quilt. I think I like this one the best.

Its really fun to play around with these, It took me quite awhile to get the block so the stripes would line up. Then I moved the blocks around to come up with this design.  Played with the colors, also.  Thinking about making this for my nephew in the Marines.

 

New versions of Hero quilt.

I  have redesigned the Hero quilt.  Here are three versions.  Which one do you like best?

              Version 1                                  Version 2

            Version 3                                     Original

But wait, there’s more

What I am showing on these blogs is one or two versions of quilts that have many different ways of construction  for a totally different looking quilt.   For some, it is a color change, for others it is positioning the blocks in a different way.  It not only fascinates me but makes it difficult for me to decide which one to make.

I have designed a few quilts, some of them I have made or am in the process of making.
