Mine is Gemini – May 21 to June 21
If Gemini has been fortunate enough to discover a tutor that has guided their enthusiasm, their quilts will be imaginative and versatile.
If they are self-taught quilters they will have a treasure trove of books, magazines, quilting supplies and every innovation related to quilting but they probably do not have a single finished quilt.
This won’t bother them though as they will convince everyone, including themselves, that this was always their plan.
Being youthful they love funky projects that use bright fabrics and dazzling threads;
being romantic they love traditional quilts made with soft pastels and florals;
being whimsical they love the country theme and flannels;
being Gemini they love it all!
Being very good with words, they will likely go on to author books as experts on patchwork and quilting – having never finished a single project.
Imagine that ...... I might write a book!!! Yeah right!!! :lol::lol:

Capricorn fits me to a T..
Capricorn – December 22 and January 20 When shopping for fabric it is always wise to take a Capricorn, as they are very good at calculating the required amount needed for patterns. Being prudent and practical they will not over estimate the quantity needed and therefore are cost effective to have along, especially if you are on a budget. They are also extremely organized and disciplined. They take as much care in the storage of their stash as they do in the quality of their work. They see themselves as sensible and perform a regular clear out of supplies and materials. They are not the type to horde anything and do not own more than one type of any tool. Of course their restraint is what causes them to take an inordinate amount of time in the planning stage of a project, which they feel is of vital importance to the outcome of the finished product.

I am also a Capricorn; that description is kinda scary.
The only difference is this last round of quilt blocks (7-sisters with the weird blue). I haven't really calculated the yardage needed because, for the most part, I already have the background fabric in my fabric stash. (I so confused an acquaintance about that this recently)
