I noticed this morning as I was pulling out the driveway that my Shasta daisies are going to be blooming soon.

I'd be tempted to make more sixteen patch blocks and leave out the filler ones. And I have too many ideas, too. Hence the lists and project boxes I keep for future efforts.Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-66292644721690157152017-06-04T14:03:22.492-05:002017-06-04T14:03:22.492-05:00Dear Wanda,

When Jolene laid out her pink squares quilt, it let my brain cool down for a while. But now, it is sewn, and my head is full again. I went to a big show in Rochester, NY yesterday (600 quilts) but I did not get any inspiration- I guess what is in my head is calling me more. Love the garden! I have got to finish planting mine! Got a new bobbin case at the show so maybe my tension woes will disappear.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-91751240527935931842017-06-04T12:05:39.436-05:002017-06-04T12:05:39.436-05:00Hmmmm ~ the fun begins designing those checkerboar...Hmmmm ~ the fun begins designing those checkerboard blocks to please you..

I love your work, and your sense of color--I've learned a lot. I hope you don't mind, but the first thought that popped into my head when I saw those blocks was "I think it wants to be an orange quilt." Don't know what you can do with that, but there ya go! All the best!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895625114035965626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-91708205384657796262017-06-04T10:16:33.856-05:002017-06-04T10:16:33.856-05:00I have a collection of blocks I made the second ye...I have a collection of blocks I made the second year I was quilting.

(2) I have my own collection of "boxes" holding Works-In-Progress. I take them out, muddle and mull, and usually put them back.
