OASIS QUILT

        A partial picture of my Oasis quilt for someone special....;)))))

 (It's too large for me to get the whole thing from my design wall in my small room
into one photo)
Can you see the lattice work pattern that emerges?

 I have set it 5 across and 6 down...
Here is a different view--closer...I really like this pattern and it is so easy...

 I had thought perhaps I should add some little type of applique in those big snowballs  like this:
But now, I really don't know if I'd like that or just a quilted pattern
 like a heart maybe...
What do you think?
  
Now to sew these in rows of 5 each and then quilt to backing in 
Quilt As you Go method...

 I have a lot of this Oasis layer cake and some charms left over --probably enough to make another smaller table topper...I do love these fabrics 
a lot; they say Spring/Summer to me--

 hugs (on this Rainy Thursday) from
Julierose, La Blageuse (snowball-euse)

    What lovely fabrics/colours. It's like a watercolour painting. If it were me, I think I'd go with quilting a pattern in the snowballs.

    Your Oasis certainly is. I love the fabrics, too, and the snowball space gives the eye a place to rest. I like it that way, without the applique... so pretty.

    I agree with Kaja all the way...looks like watercolors AND quilt something in the snowballs. Lucky "special someone"!

    I like the softness without the applique- heart quilting sounds nice- very pretty

    Another great quilt! Love the pattern and the lattice work that shows up on the quilt. I would quilt something in the snowballs but you know me and quilting designs!!

    Pretty quilt - love the colors. I think I would leave the snowball blocks blank for some pretty quilting.

    It is really pretty. I agree, no appliqué in the plain blocks.

    Very pretty! I think I prefer the version without the flowers, can't wait to see what you decide to do!

    Very pretty, I think sometimes florals get overlooked. By the way I had thought I had been following your blog before now, now I am. Love looking at your work.

    Your Oasis quilt is quite lovely. I think appliqued hearts would be a nice addition but I'm not sure it is really necessary.
