I saw her on Sewing with Nancy too with the houndstooth quilt and corn (I think that's the name) quilt. Really liked them both. The corn quilt was fun since you cut wonky, while the houndstooth was precise but easy sewing and cutting. I doubt I'll make the corn design, but that houndstooth is definitely on my list!
I really like Tula's approach to the art of quilting. The modern quilt movement is bringing in more youngsters in to the craft, and that's always a good thing! I don't think there's ever been a more exciting time to be into quilting -- the fabrics and choices are virtually endless.
I went to my local guild's quilt show yesterday and saw everything you can imagine from traditional to art quilts. I just wish my mom was still here to see this. She loved color, and I think she would have been intrigued with all the new options in quilting.
