I saw a photo, but no pattern, for my next quilt. I'm not finished with my latest quilt, however, I have to get the pattern down, while I have it in my head.
Sometimes I find patterns I like, other times I will see something, and then come home and create a pattern that will get me where I want to go. This is just such a time. I've drawn out the pattern, on a sheet of white paper.
Update: I've found it. It's a 1930's pattern found in a newspaper (in the '30's) it's the Wheel of Fortune, and one of the hardest I've tried, because it should be paper patterned, or I think made on a base fabric. Each completed block stretches soooo much! It's taking a long time to get it finished!
Now that I have the pattern, I can begin by cutting it out, then glue this to a piece of cardboard. When I have to create the pattern, quilts can take longer, in the over 100 hour range (just like quilts with small pieces) as I will actually draw the pattern on fabric to cut it out. |
