I have lots of magazines and I just flip through them quickly, they inspire me. If that don't work, the internet has lots of sites, just google "free quilt patterns". Then, have a ball!! Just back from Cincinatti quilt show, I am overflowing with inspiration. Wish I had the time to go for it! LOL

I received grownups from Veronika and wandalou. It's very interesting, I look at my fabric and see the blues and purples, almost everyone so far has picked up on the browns and greens. It really is interesting how the look of my soon-to-be quilt is evolving! Hugs to everyone, have a great week!

Veronika
so sorry to hear of you and your family's sad loss of your father in law. Thoughts and prayers with you at this time. |
I use Mary Ellen Hopkins book It is ok if you sit on my quilt. She has lots of ideas. You have to figure the size out for the pieces used, but this way you can adjust your size any way you want.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...124-323279.jpg I hope no one took it wrong, I was just finding it funny that I didn't even realize that there was brown in the fabric until I got my grownup back from moonrise -I must have been wearing blinders the day I found the fabric - that's why I need everyone's help because if I were making all the blocks, they'd be with just the blues and purples, maybe a little bit of the black .. you all are saving me from a very drab, limited design! Thank you! {{{{{hugs}}}}} Notice how the fabric is cut so perfect, with the designs meeting in the center of the kaleidoscope, it's even prettier in person! |
Veronika -- SO sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.
Jacquie -- any certain colors you prefer to go with your fabric or not go with your fabric? |
Jacquie Got your beautiful red fabric today, will make you block and get it out to you this week.
This is my last block to make and mail. |
Veri-sorry for your family's loss. My prayers go to you and your family.
Beautiful kaleidoscope block is gorgeous!! I make my blocks from quilt books by Eleanor Burns (Victory Quilts, Quilt Blocks on American Barns, Egg Money). These books have 12 1/2" blocks and her instructions are just about perfect. Each block tells you exactly how to cut each piece for the blocks. Hope everyone likes the block patterns I choose. I'm excited to get sewing on them this week!! |
