I read your own homepages too!
We need innovative quilters like you, who add to the diversity of our large creative quilting world!!!
I am 81, and have seen endless variations of only a few patterns - like now - log cabins! Hardly even other old traditional Irish chain or ohio stars to be seen lately - and those are easy too!
In fact, this really happened to me recently!
In the past, I gave boxes of odds and ends of scraps to a younger friend who loved to just sit in front of her machine and sew and sew and sew! She gave me a queen -out-of-the-paper-bag choices log cabin top. Ik!!!! - it was so ugly!!!! LOL!!! So after putting it over a sofa and looking at it for about two weeks, I resolved that it was going out of my house! So I took it to a sit and sew. and gave it to a fellow quilter who does a lot of charity quilts. Everyone there proclaimed it "beautiful"!! LOL~!
Honestly, every time I protested saying "but it is REALLY UGLY!" They shouted me down!
I, like you like to make one-of-a-kind quilts!
What do you think? Should we holler louder too???
Keep up the creative designs!!!
