More PhotoScape Quilt Ideas using my Blue Island Tribal blocks

Hi, I am still playing with PhotoScape today. My friend Jan O over at The Colorful Fabriholic suggested making a plain white block photo to make alternate block designs. This is a great idea and I really like how the designs work up. I also laid out my floral appliqued block with the full blue version block folded in half and snapped a new photo to show what a new quilt block with look like with the appliqued hibiscus center. It was kind of tricky to get the photo cropped correctly for this program’s useage so the design is not as clean as others but you do get the idea of what it can look like.

I have 20 blocks made up for this version. These blocks would be approximately 12 by 18 inches when finished so that would make an approximate 72 by 60 inch quilt???

Blue Island Tribal PhotoScape concept with alternate blocks

Here is my original Blue Island Tribal block set with alternate plain white blocks in a 25 block set. This should make a 60 inch square quilt. I really like this one.

Blue Version of Blue Island Tribal with alternate blocks

And here is the all blue version of my Blue Island Tribal block with alternating white squares in the same 25 block set. This would make approximately a 60 inch square quilt.

Be sure to check out PhotoScape as it is a free program. It seems to be pretty straight forward. It pulls up the photos on your computer and you can edit them and resize them all from same program. The Combine function button is how I am making my quilt layouts as described in Joy’s tutorial.

Be sure to check out my previous post on pattern options if you missed it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Happy Sewing,
