Quilting Patterns

One of the greater struggles I’ve had in upgrading my computer outfit is that I can’t abjure Mac OS 9. The put in commotion is that I used to use the celebrated program WordPerfect until the ill empire Microsoft started winding everyone into software zombies. So now I have lots and lots of documents in WordPerfect, matter I still use, that I can’t avenue if I upgrade. I’m laboring hard on influencing them all to other formats, but some of it’s comely difficult to move.

The BIG Question at issue is that I used to concoct quilts in the old vector graphics program that was included wihth WordPerfect - it was truly quite profitable for piecing patterns. The limitations of the graphics program closely resembled the limitations of thorough piecing. Profitable! So I probably have 40 quilt designs that are stuck in the WP graphics program.

Anyway, as I pull the designs kicking and screaming into this hundred, I’m going to startle posting them here. I started creating these designs in as luck may have it 1998, about 10 years ago. I might bring into being a gallery of them, startle using building swatches to muscle and fat them out - I quite allied these old designs I made. They’re almost all queen-largeness, I think, and I included one-paw-length mensuration bars across the side and top for dish/sizing. I also often made a pillow plan to go with it.

This first project is a tribute to Amish quilts. Amish quilts have several hallmarks - black, solid banner, extensive use of swarthy/navy/brown as a unifying topic, very strong well-delineated elements. The designs are often uncompounded and with non-repeating motif (similar one big central red quadrilateral and equiangular on black). Amish quilting, of a piece many things Amish, is meant to be single and plain, and is made of sinewy, practical fabrics. This one that I designed is meant to point of concentration on those elements, using only one brighter tinge - which in this case would be unbleached cotton-wool, although it looks gold-colored in the design.

In circumstance, I think...
