Even though, I have been administrating Quilt Design a Day, it has been a while where I have been practicing on a regular basis. It was time that changed, time to get my brain re-engaged.
Here are my recent quilt design a day designs. There ones I like and more I don’t like, but that’s what I like about the challenge.

Original Orientation and design:
It’s been fun getting back into it and getting the mental pathways for designing working again. This week (starting tomorrow) is our Medallion Week Challenge, where folks build on their design each day until they have a Medallion quilt (center + 6 rows). The theme is going to be architecture.
Come by and take a look at what folks are coming up with. For more of my designs from QDAD check out my page.

You knocked it out of the ball park! I love all your designs and inspiration pictures! I wish I had the time to make all of them! You are so amazing! I am in awe of you!

Oops, I meant to say I BOW to you.
I’m so glad QDAD is back! After the winter we’ve had–weather and otherwise–I know MY brain needs a reset 🙂 Thanks for sharing your amazing creativity with us!
Mere words cannot convey how I am overwhelmed by your designs and the wonderful way you incorporated all the colors. You are truly gifted. Thanks for sharing your talent.
all of them are fantastic, but I LOVE the Doorway block and the design for the succulents! Are there measurements somewhere to make these? If I have to choose one , well, then the Doorway , love the idea. glad you are posting these again, love looking through your designs. take care from Iowa
Those designs are stunning. The visual appeal of the lines and curves struck me.
I think it’s incredible the way you turned the gorgeous pictures into even more beautiful quilts. And the colours! If you ever need a tester, I would love the chance to make one!
I love the final design of the doorway! Thanks so much for the giveaway I’m really feeling thrilled:) 🙂
