I have a question, or maybe it is a poll?

I want to know if anyone has ever quilted to a mood. Happy, sad, excited, down, what ever it may be that you were feeling. Does your work reflect it?
If you have pictures of work that you did I would appreciate it if you posted it with your response.
I had a thought while putting together pieces tonight for the next block in my quilt, you may have been following my progress the last couple of days. I posted pictures to it last night again.

I agree with the making, but if I am designing a quilt in a bad mood, it will reflect t. Good thing I don't get in one very often and when I do, I prefer to take it out on DH rather than do any designing. I much prefer to design happy/whimsical, etc. when I'm happy. And sorry...I don't have any pics..I've given all of them away..

Thank you for answering. And I hope more do even if it is to say the same thing.
PS Katier, if you need a foster home for that fabric let me know, I always have room for more.

When I make a quilt, it's always for someone specific. When I buy fabric and decide on pattern, it's always with their personalities I keep in mind. Interesting thought, though.....I could start my own quilt that I would work on only when I'm stressed, or one when I'm feeling really good. It would be interesting to see how those would pan out.

I've noticed that mine will reflect seasonal colors. Like when I have Spring Fever I almost want something floral.
Or now I picking out alot of browns and earthy tones towards fall.
I think I see enough real winter that I don't often pick out fabrics that reflect winter, but I do pick out cool colors.
