Sort of like we don't see the flaws in our lives through others blogs. And it is ok, because we like them no matter what. I'm not sure I'm making sense. But oh well. The quilt is nice. And sometimes it is painful to look at old quilts because I think "how did I think that was a good idea???" but they show progress. And that is a good thing.Nanette Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734358126338038553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-78462501758572367522009-06-02T12:57:43.335+10:002009-06-02T12:57:43.335+10:00Love the quilt.

It is baby sized and I'm currently hand quilting it. I just started hacking scraps into chunks and bordered 2-3 sides with 3" strips of muslin. I laid them out on the floor and jig-sawed them together and filled any gaps that were left open. I really liked the randomness of it, and the white background, but piecing it together got really interesting. Thanks for the inspiration! It's one of my favorite quilts!brodiefileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928702374657670376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-40654694639017868682009-05-29T15:34:23.992+10:002009-05-29T15:34:23.992+10:00I made my first quilt over twenty years ago and it...I made my first quilt over twenty years ago and it is still keeping us warm and that is the main thing with a quilt.

I thought it was beautiful and was wondering where I could get the pattern. I would have NEVER guessed that it was your first quilt or that you took on the challenge of "wing" the pattern.<br /><br />You should be VERY proud of what you have done.

I am such a big fan of your writing; it just makes me laugh and often makes my day. And I love to quilt, and now I love it that you have made a quilt too! It's almost like a bit of your cleverness rubs off on me because we share a common interest now (albeit possibly a weakly common interest thus far :P). What I would really like to know is: how did you first get the design idea (it's so original! and cool!) and I honestly would love to see close-ups of your quilting--it looks very interesting. Even if it isn't technically "perfect", it's really quite arresting and makes me think I'd like to try something similar.Bekhynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-20457536787162002822009-05-28T14:18:59.164+10:002009-05-28T14:18:59.164+10:00I remember seeing this and absolutely loving the v...I remember seeing this and absolutely loving the various greens against the white!<br />I think its looks fantastic and would be happy to take it off your hands if you just can't bare to look at it a minute longer.

It isn't perfect? It doesn't look like a professional quilter made it? It looks like it was a long journey and a creative learning curve? It looks like in the years to come you will look back at it and give a little sigh, and you will secretly have a little love for it. <br />:)Christina Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370046598325657449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-30047103249315347602009-05-28T12:52:57.866+10:002009-05-28T12:52:57.866+10:00I think it looks fabulous - at least from a distan...I think it looks fabulous - at least from a distance.
