I'm a list maker and have been since just after college. I get great satisfaction in crossing things off my list---done, and completed! That carries over to my quilts in progress....only it is never ending. No sooner do I finish one--and get to cross it off--and I realize I have started a project that is not on the list. Crossing off the jewel box scrap quilt, I saw that the blooming 9 patch (which is cut) is not on the list, and neither is the Alaska quilt (and there are 5 blocks done for it). Oh, and then there is the french roses lap quilt that is my night time project---not on the list either.
Maybe I just need to look at it a different way......I don't have too many projects, rather I am inspired by a lot of things, events, and places! Sounds better to me. Inspiration hit again this morning over the first cup of coffee. I was just sitting and staring at Scrappy Mountains on the quilt rack....light bulb moment. Use the delectable mountain block pieced into the AK quilt. Hmmm....now I have a couple more ideas to incorporate.
Here's the jewel box quilt.....I love the black background and how everything just pops because of it.
Off to the sewing room....happy stitching.
Love how the black makes the other colors pop.
ReplyDeleteInspiration is a good thing :)
