I have made a couple quilts and have ...I love it!! I have made a couple quilts and have yet to make a "traditional" design... all those tiny calico prints, YUCK! I've searched dozens of books trying to find a pattern that spoke to me. Finally I gave up and broke out some graph paper and designed something myself. Then went to the fabric store and found prints that I liked and put them together. I have to say it is very satisfying to have complete creative flexibility. One quilt I only used a printed fabric for the border, then used all bold primary colors for the blocks in large triangles and squares, it turned out awesome. After I made my first quilts and went back to look at my Great Grandmother's quilts, they were not traditional, they were functional. Primarily using left over stash from other sewing projects. <BR/><BR/>You've got the right idea, keep up the good work!!!Weenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308770400870961664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11498906.post-1154561760250401562006-08-02T16:36:00.000-07:002006-08-02T16:36:00.000-07:00The quilt is wonderful!
