Ambrosia Star
Ambrosia Star by Tailormade by Design, featuring Ambrosia
Melanie and Joanie talk about Ambrosia Star:
How did you come
up with the quilt design?
We use Electric Quilter
which allows us to "play" with the different fabrics and blocks until
we are dizzy. We like to use two or three blocks and see if we can get the
illusion of other blocks or layers...it is just a twisted game we play together!
What do you like
best about the design?
The white circles that
happen around the stars and the soft trellis chain that happens on top of
everything.
Why stars?
No reason...we weren't
really thinking stars, they just happened.
You chose to use
just a few prints and stay in a single colorway. Any reason why?
We wanted it fresh and
simple looking.
Can you talk
about how the quilt is constructed? It looks complex.
It really isn't!
The quilt is made up of two fairly simple blocks. One has a flying geese
section which can be a little bit of a challenge if it is your first time
working with triangles, but everything else is just sub-cutting strips for
four-patches and framing.
What appealed to
you about the Ambrosia fabric collection?
It's soft florals and
airy feel.
Glass House
Glass House by Stitched Together Studios featuring Palazzo |
Stephanie and Linda talk about Glass House:
How did you come
up with the quilt design?
This was a combined
effort with both of us adding unique elements as the design evolved. We
actually started with the border and worked out the center of the quilt last.
What do you like
best about it?
The modern feel using
some pretty traditional quilt blocks.
What prompted
you to do such an "untraditional" design?
We both love mixing
the traditional and modern aspects of quilt design - this fabric line just
called for something a little "funky."
Why did you
choose to use such a variety of block designs in the quilt?
The outer border was
so strong visually that we felt that the center of the quilt needed to be just
as strong. By using lots of different blocks and many of the fabrics in the
line we kept the two components of this quilts balanced.
Talk about the inner/outer border.
The inner light border
became really cool negative space reminiscent of a body of water around an
island. The outer choppy border was the first element that we designed in
this quilt...we wanted it to look like pieces of the center that floated away.
What appealed to
you about the Palazzo fabric collection?
The colors! We love
aqua and teal and the addition of the greens made these colors all blend
perfectly!
