I love your quilts! You have talent and an eye for good layouts and color combinations. I say go for it too.

You might check out Patchwork Times by Judy Laquidara. Last wk she talked about publishing and going for it and gave quite a few pointers on how to. Just a thought. Oh and she and I are both from Missouri, too.

She asked me where I got those patterns for my quilts because she had never seen anything like them before, I told her that I design those quilts myself with my handy dandy notebook. She was blown away by my designs and insist I them published. she said they are too good not to share them. I was in shock that she thought they were that good, She told me to design and design and design. She made me feel real good. What are your opinion? Should I or not? Most pics that I have posted here are my own designs. I dont have the first clue what to do here.

You know, it appears you may have enough that you could actually do a book but I would have no clue on how you would go about doing that. By all means, do see if you can find a way to publish and market your patterns. That's how quilt patterns get started and yours are unique and beautiful. Good luck.

I looked at your quilts-they are soooo beautiful. i say give it a try, but only if you want to. i wouldn't let anyone push me, if i didn't really want it. on the other hand, sometimes it's good to get out of our comfort zone. you definately have talent in the design and quilting department.
