Name that quilt (s) - CONTEST
Are you very good at coming up with names for your quilts? I'm terrible!! I love putting labels on quilts but adding a name is always a challenge for me. I'm going to try to sell some of my quilts this summer at the Sisters Quilt Show and all the quilts require names!!
This was made using the layer cake and French General fabric line.
This was an antique top I bought some years ago.
I put this together using blocks from an old swap.
I think I bought these half square triangles and sewed them together into pinwheels. I have one more needing a name but it's not on my phone.

RANDY! That last one is PINWHEEL PARADISE!! At least to me...love it!! How about NINE PATCH NIRVANA for your lovely antique rescue!!
ReplyDeletePiccadilly - Trafalgar Square - Wimbledon - Old Kent Road.
ReplyDeleteDo you fancy any of them?
I have a friend that is so great at naming things--sadly, I'm not! So, here's my feeble attempt in order:
ReplyDeleteSquare Dance, Patch of Blue,Colorful Crowns, Pinafore Pinwheels.
What beautiful quilts Randy! DELICIOUS as usual! In order from top to bottom: "Courtepointe" ("quilt" in French), "Rustic Rubix," "Eskimo Summer," and "Spin Your Partner."
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good at naming either, but I offer these. How about:
ReplyDelete1) Cornerstone Classic; 2) Creamsicle Ninepatch; 3) Azteca and 4) Spin Me Up
Good luck!
I'm drawing a blank and you have received some good suggestions, so I will bow out. : )
ReplyDeleteHow about Tic Tac Toe for the second one and Pinwheel Pizzazz for the last one. The other two, ???I struggle with that as well. Good luck
ReplyDeleteWell let's go !
ReplyDeleteBlue morning - Sweet Rosie - Blocks over the sea - it's Springtime for pinwheels !
Good luck !
Your first quilt: "Around the Block Again"; 2nd: Peach Pie"; 3rd:"Fear of Flying"; and last:"Pinwheel Party" Maybe??? I find that while I am working on a quilt a name seems to pop up to me...or sometimes my DH is good at saying something that makes a name spring to mind. Hugs Julierose
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth: (1) Walking around the block (2) Quiet 9-Patch (3) Swap Meet (4) Pinwheels Galore
ReplyDeleteThey're all great quilts!!!
Here's my submission: Windows, Checkers, Royal Colors and Pinwheel Patches.
ReplyDeleteOnly can think of names for last two
ReplyDeleteIndian Suns and Pinwheel Magic
How about "Pam's Quilts"? Lol - Loving that pinwheel!
ReplyDeleteRandy, what a fun idea! Everyone has had such good names. Okay, here are some of my ideas. For quilt #1) Squared Away, Sitting in the Corner, or Lafayette. #2) Plain and Simple, Back to the Basics, or In The Beginning (because as beginner quilters we start with 9 patches) #3) Blueberry Garden #4) Pinwheel Heaven or Swing Your Partner. I will keep thinking and might have some more ideas.
ReplyDeletelast one....plaid-tastic pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteOh I want to play too!! The first thing that came to my mind when I looked at the pictures were: #1 The French's Marching In. (people in the border?) #2 Hopscotch (don't know why) #3 Mardi Gras #4 Windy Day. - you will end up with so many wonderful suggestions, you'll have to do a thousand quilts more lol.
ReplyDeleteFun! (1) Jackson Square (as in French Quarter of New Orleans); (2) En Pointe Precision (precise and on point); (3) Austin Arrowhead (reminds me of Indian arrowheads and the colors around Austin, TX); and (4) Windmills of My Mind (from the song). Linda
ReplyDelete1, American Comfort 2, Peachy Patches or if it's pink, I can't tell for sure, Pink 'N Patches or Thirty by Nine, 3, Galaxy Stars and 4, Pinwheel Posies

ReplyDeleteBob, Carol, Ted, and Alice - Sorry - I just couldn't resist. Alice is my favorite. You could call Bob "General Confusion".
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are beautiful. I am really bad at naming anything. When ever naming quilts comes up my reply is "I was barely able to name my children". Sadly it is pretty true.
ReplyDeleteI'm bad with names too, and you made it harder with four names! Okay, here are mine: French Courtyard, Hopscotch, Dream Ripples, and Whirly World.
