My Design Wall, Monday, May 16, 2011
Posted By drsao on May 16, 2011
The title of this post is misleading, because I don’t have a design wall – but I do have a design floor!!!
TODAY my DESIGN FLOOR features Judy Laquidara’s latest quilt design – THE ROAD TO BROWNWOOD. I am working on the pieced border now! I am really loving this quilt.
I still can’t believe that Judy designed this quilt AND posted the instructions for it on her blog (www.patchworktimes.com) WHILE SHE WAS in the middle of packing to move, getting a house ready to sell, and looking for a new house in another state! This isn’t just ANY MOVE either – Judy had to find a home for her chickens too!
I have 24 (YES 24 – and don’t ask……) 5 1/2″ square ORPHAN HOURGLASS blocks using the same gold and raspberry fabric….as you see in this quilt top ……HM….. I wonder how I could incorporate those 24 blocks into the border……
If I can’t think of something, I will put those blocks into a scrappy back!

sao's Road To Brownwood in progress
Love your colors It will be beautiful
Your Road to Brownwood is lovely!
Love the colors you chose. It looks great.
That’s gonna be a great quilt! I like it a lot!
Love your quilt. I think you could put those extra hourglass blocks to use around the border somhow even if you only do a few around each corner somehow. I like your colors!
I love to see how color can make a quilt design look so different. This is really stunning and looks so different from Judy’s Road to Brownwood, which is also lovely.
I love how yours turned out. The colors are beautiful!!! Don’t you just love Judy’s designs???
Love your colors!! just stunning
Ohhhh, I LOVE your quilt! And you’re right about Judy–how does she do it ALL!!!
