Wallflowers Quilt Design Contest

First Version
Last month, Threadbias announced they would be holding another quilt design contest featuring the fabric Wallflowers by Allison Harris.  I just knew I would participate.  I loved it last time so here was another chance to play around with the quilt design tool and some lovely digital fabric swatches.

Second Version
I immediately knew that I wanted to try out some other ideas based on a recent quilt top that I finished up, a design that featured strings and a latticework design, which can be seen HERE.  Knowing that was my basis for the design, I wanted to see what a deliberate patchwork background would look like and if the block was even possible.  Well it was!  Once I had drawn up the block, the rest was easy, until I had to decide how I wanted the latticework to look.  Hmm....

Third Version
My three ideas for the latticework can be see here.  My very first version started out with just random placement of the five larger scale prints from the collection.  That then transformed into a more deliberate placement of the fabrics, one that ended up with a predominant cross design, with a weaving of the other prints around it.  My second version featured the latticework all in one print, very traditional.  Lastly, I decided to lay out the five prints in a chevron like layout.  I liked this version a lot, but wasn't sold.  In the end I left the vote up to my mom and she decided that she liked the very first version, the one that featured the cross.  Be it that Mother knows best, that is the design that I entered into the contest.

Once again, this contest was really fun, and I loved playing with the Quilt Design Tool by Threadbias.  I used all of the prints from the collection and one of the solids that we were given the option to use.  Voting is open now in this contest, and if you have a free Threadbias account you can vote.  Please take a moment to hop on over and vote, I would love it if you would vote for mine, but honestly there are a ton of great entries, so vote for the one that you love the best!  Click on the image below to take you to the contest and there you will find the View Entries button!  Thank you to all the sponsors of this contest, I appreciate the chance to enter the contest and use the Quilt Design Tool.
