Remember my <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/odds-and-ends-thurday\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr trick<\/a> from ResearchBuzz? My eyes nearly popped out of my head for a couple of reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>this is one of the layouts I am thinking about for my FOTY 2011 quilt with the triangles. While she is making it look more scrappy than I would, she has the idea.<\/li>\n<li>this is a fresh and fun piece<\/li>\n<li>the red really moves your eye around the quilt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I was thinking this morning that, perhaps I would lay the quilt out in a similar way to Lorajean&#8217;s, but focus each row on a different part of the color wheel and then within the row, I would colorwash the colors. I want to use Kona white or Kona Snow in this piece to give the fabrics some space. I&#8217;ll have to look at that and see if it works. Seeing Lorajean&#8217;s piece above makes me think it might. I know I have many more pieces to include than she has included in her quilt.<\/p>\n<p>I also thought of making a two sided row with a thin strip in between so that some of the triangles are pointing and some are pointing down like Lorajean has done.<\/p>\n<p>You can see <a href=\"http:\/\/lorajeansmagazine.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lorajean&#8217;s blog<\/a> and this <a href=\"http:\/\/lorajeansmagazine.blogspot.com\/2011\/06\/another-quilt-top-finished-and-pattern.html\" target=\"_blank\">particular post<\/a> about this top. The site has a very nice tone and some great posts. Aside from the pennant quilt posts, I really liked a post in which Lorajean talks about making a <a href=\"http:\/\/lorajeansmagazine.blogspot.com\/2011\/01\/gift-harry-potter-doll-and-accessories.html\" target=\"_blank\">Harry Potter themed doll<\/a> for her daughter. She does a lot of different crafts and the photos on her blog are well presented. Take a look at her site, leave her a comment and let her know you saw her top featured here at Artquiltmaker!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking through my Flickr Feed when I came across this quilt of Lorajean&#8217;s.
