ok very good question I might say for one main reason. It gets you thinking, it gets you imagining as soon as you read it you start seeing it in your mind.. and the reason thing here is.. why not do it? if you cant because you don't know how there is surely a class or another quilter who can teach you. just another food for thought. what if we make this our 2014 goal? do something totally out of your box. your scared of.. try it. you can do it you know. if you can sew a straight line you can make curved ones. if you can regular quilt you can paper piece you just might need the educational tools to do this. I say .. go for it.
oh yes mine would be a stained glass quilt. I want to make one, could never keep it in the house cats and cat hair and all but oh yes I would love an illumination quilt of some sort.
