These blocks were fun. The parts were large enough to show off the fabric and there are so many ways to use more fabrics in a single block. I thought I'd tried every combination but new ideas still pop into my head. It will be fun to see what you create. Somehow I think it might have extra applique. ;-)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-64889569091277968332015-03-26T09:38:25.305-05:002015-03-26T09:38:25.305-05:00Thank you, Cathy.

I'm always amazed how you create such interest and balance in your improvisational quilts. It's very thought-provoking. Sometimes it seems that you sew large chunks together and then cut/resew until you get the size and arrangement you like. I feel like I make a bunch of small things and then arrange them until they look good. Like starting from two different endpoints. Anyway, what a privilege to see how others work.

On the other hand, most of them haven't quilted (and hoarded/saved fabric) as long as we have. Thanks for letting me know you like to hear about the process.

Very unique and fun! Also, the use of so many different fabric prints is just incredible. I wish more people would think to make quilts from fabric prints and styles that span several years. It really creates a personal touch that is unmistakable and very unique to the maker.:) Love reading about your process too.

I could stand in front of it looking at all the wonderful details for a really long time. It still boggles my mind that you quilted this on a domestic sewing machine with so little throat space. I love YLI invisible thread too. <br />Well you've heard me say all along that I adore this quilt and I do! The best part of all though, is how it contains so many pieces of your life and memories - the perfect quilt to sleep under!Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-72129485769509565752015-03-25T12:09:08.778-05:002015-03-25T12:09:08.778-05:00Thanks, Monica.
