I’ve been thinking about quilts a lot lately… Probably since I’ve been working on one every day this week! I designed one for the Project Quilting that was supposed to be quick and easy, but it’s taking way longer than planned…. hmmmmm… So in the meantime, here are a few others that left an impression!
1. I do like the hexagon quilts, but I can’t ever remember seeing a Monster-z sized one like this one by Cloud 9 Fabrics! I love this and it’s even a tutorial…..
2. I’ve been watching all the wonderful inspiration, and of course amazing talent, being featured on the 100 Days of Quilts over at The Modern Quilt Guild Blog. I loved this Red Cross one by Anglea from Quilting is My Therapy and it has inspired me for a Christmas present… shhhh…..
3. Have you ever made a postage stamp quilt??? I am still learning about quilting, so just recently learned that this is what they are called. So of course, I’ve never made one, since I just learned about them… But this one by Elena from Breakfast for Dinner via Gen X Quilters totally made me want to make one. I can’t get it out of my head!!! I might have to find a way to make a mini one for one of the Project Quilting Challenges… ohhhh, I just had an idea… ohhhh! I’m excited!
4. I love the improv pieceing of this one by Karen Anderson Abraham via The Modern Quilt Guild Blog. I need to try an improvisational pieced one real soon! They are some of my favorites!
What are your favorite quilt styles?
Bless you for having the patience to quilt !! I lived in Denver for a few months in 1974 and happened upon a quilt exhibit at the museum of art. They truly were pieces of ART! Will never forget a postage stamp quilt that looked like a painting!! It had a stream, little house with smoke coming from the chimney, trees, etc. And the other one I remember was called a crazy quilt. It had bits and pieces of different fabrics, many of which were VELVETS and SATINS ! And the random shaped pieces were outlined with what I call a feather stitch. (I’m no expert, so I could be wrong about the name.) Anyway, best of luck with your quilting…am sure yours will be museum quality. 🙂
