This is the quilt I received as part of the ongoing Whisper Challenge. The size is about 15" square. I'm supposed to use this piece as inspiration and come up with a small piece withing two weeks. Then I return this one to it's maker and pass my quilt on to the next person in the chain. Any suggestions?

Klimt Panel with Kaffe fabric

This is loosely based on a kit I bought at the Houston Quilt Festival. The picture shows the front and back of the panel. I'm going to put them together with batting between and then quilt through all layers. My intent is that the panel will hang on one side of the arched opening to the Living Room. It's about 3' wide and 7' long.

I purposely made some of the sections wider than the pattern called for so that I could make one long edge irregular. The finished irregular edge will probably not hang out as far as is shown, but it gives me plenty to work with.

I have enough fabric left over to add one more floral stripe down the middle and make a traditional quilt out of it. That's the decision I'll be pondering this weekend.

I saw this design in a catalog and laid it out in EQ. I thought it would make a sparkling TshirT quilt. As laid out here you could use the jelly roll strips to create the strips around each block. This particular layout has 10" (finished) squares surrounded by 2" (finished) strips. So you would make each block and there would be not sashing.

Here are a couple of suggestions for layouts for Tshirt quilts.
