My watercolor brushes have been dry lately, but I have been quilting. I don’t much like to follow quilt patterns. I feel like I should be more original. Must be the artist in me. I designed this lap quilt (58″ x 70″) as a wedding gift for Natalie who is getting married tomorrow. It’s a simple design with large (12″ x 14″) blocks. It was well received at her bridal shower this past week. Her requested colors were navy, mustard and blush. I was able to find a fat quarter bundle online: “Athena” by Angela Walters for Art Gallery Fabrics. It fit perfectly into this color scheme.

Since it was a wedding gift I quilted it with my all-over Curly Hearts pattern.

There was enough left over fabric to make a simple pieced back.
Hopefully Natalie and Charles will spend many an evening cuddled under this.

Thanks, Cindy. Maybe I get bored easy, so I have to keep changing mediums?

Me too! My real “expertise” is crochet. I learned when I was age 4. I can do that in my sleep haha. I have won 1st place several times at local fairs. But as you say, you want to mix it up, and I do the same

I crochet a little, but certainly not anything that is prize worthy. You should post some of your work. I’d love to see it.

I love it when you post your quilts and quilt blocks, reminds me of home and when my mom would take me to grandma’s and they would all sit the quilting circle, and all of the old ladies chat around while quilting 🙂

Thanks, Sheila. I didn’t even realize it was an “in” color scheme until I easily found fabric with all those colors.

I do like designing quilt patterns–simple ones. I would be a quilt/fabric designer in another life. Writing good instructions is the tricky part.
