Here is my newest creation for the ...
Opposites Attract Blog Hop
Marian @ Seams To Be So
created and organized this hop.
What a great idea for a blog hop ...
two colors,
small quilt
... the possibilities are endless!
This concept really inspired my quilty muse and I had a few ideas.
This is the new design idea that I finally chose ...
I am calling this new pattern
+ Opposites + Attract +
as it incorporates plus signs in opposing colors.
Here is the +Opposites+ block I designed.
To further emphasize the opposites theme
I made this block in opposing fabrics and
included both in the layout.
I really enjoyed making this quilt
I chose a simple wave design for the quilting.
For the backing, I used the blue on orange dot fabric
that inspired the color choice,
which I blogged about HERE
As always, Katniss was very helpful in the making of this quilt.
I think she really likes this one for and have promised her she may have it for her basket after summer is over.
Right now it is the perfect size for our outside table.
This quilt measures 34" by 21"
I hope you have enjoyed reading about this quilt
as much as I enjoyed making it.
I have other quilty visions for this design ...
and an alternative block to explore!

On the homefront in the scrapatch,
things are still somewhat frustrating.
My quilt computer is still down.
My blogging capabilities continue to be greatly reduced.
At least we have the yard swing back up to enjoy the yard!
Happy summer!

ReplyDeleteLove your choice of colors and creativity in the name and plus signs, great job.

ReplyDeleteHi Pat, very clever. Love blue and orang
ReplyDeleteDifferent combination but they are opposites. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteYour colors look electrifying! As if they are plugged in! Nice.

Beautiful, and NOT black and white, thanks!

I really love how you used the original block and its inverse for this mini quilt. Really great job on this!
ReplyDeleteThe colors go beautifully with thee swing. Maybe Katness would like to lay on the swing. The pattern reminds me of a maze. I agree with the Queen, cute quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat is pure fun! Katniss obviously thinks so, too. What a great design. Thanks for showing how you made it, too. It creates such a great secondary puzzle when both blocks are put together.
ReplyDeleteYou have designed a very cool block and the table topper turned out great! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your very interesting explanation of your process/quilt. Love your cat, by the way.
ReplyDeleteKatniss sure does like "his" quilt. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your site. Thank you
