Still surfing the books..........


I'm still gathering ideas for what to cut out next.  I like this quilt a lot but it is square and I would like it to be rectangular so I would just use the idea but figure out all of the measurements on my own.  I love pinwheels and I love the colors in this quilt.

The other style quilt I'm drawn to is the simple medallion with just plain border after plain border instead of pieced ones.  Again I love the colors and I have a lot of these fabrics but would probably add in a couple substitutes.

I'm still doing a lot of clean up outside getting ready for the painter next month.  Rain is predicted Sun.- Wed. next week and it isn't a lot of fun to be chopping down volunteer tree shoots and pulling weeds while it is wet out.  I can get to the studio once the rain starts, and we really need the rain.

Both those quilts are great for inspiration so I look forward to seeing what you come up with. We've had plenty of rain this week so I've sent some your way. It's also been colder but I'm relying on an Indian summer in October. Happy sewing Wanda :)

Hope the enormous number of options don't overwhelm you! (I have so many "want to do" ideas that when it comes time to start a new project I can be paralyzed...for a short time.)

Isn’t it fun to design quilts in our heads? No cutting or finishing required - just dreaming. Sometimes an idea even turns into a real quilt!

Love these inspirational quilts and their colors!

Do you (or your local library) have a 1999 book titled "Spectacular Scraps" by Judy Hooworth and Margaret Rolfe? That books has wonderful quilts too.

I too like the simple Medallion quilt in Kaffe's new book, received mine two days ago. Waiting to see where you go with your ideas for the next quilt.
