They are not colors I would pick for me, but my 11 year old just loves them. I even had a 14 year old offer to adopt it. I have a lot of fun doing the embroidery work. There is just so much you can do with it. it brings a whole new aspect to it. Though not all my quilts end up with it. I have never done the same quilt twice. Though my mom did copy one I did for the other bunk in my nephews room. And I have only done one or two that I have copied from a magazine. I have a binder that has a large selection of blocks in it and I go through the book and try to pick ones that I think will go together. So far I have done a pretty good job of it. Some times it gets me in trouble though, Like when I did my sisters quilt, shown in an earlier post, the one block is called Sarah's choice, that is her name, and the one I picked to go with it had so many pieces. And I was of course on a tight schedule to get it done. It helps to already have a large selection of fabric to look at. I love a good sale and tend to stock up and then don't need to worry about having to pay full price for it. I am finding a hard time with the batting though. Having enough on hand takes up a lot of space.

I am horrible for taking notes, though I would put stickies around the machine and table to give me hints when I am doing it, I would only have to do it once and then they would be there, if any one wants to volunteer for that.....

Thank you, it was a lot of fun to do. I prefer to work with bright colors but have worked with everything under the sun. I like to match the quilt to the new owner. One of the things that my DH wants for me for my birthday is for me to make one for me, it will probably be the hardest for me to do.
