Thank you so much mimee! Most of my quilts are an "adventure" since I don't use real patterns to make them. I just pick a block or 28 blocks like my star quilt or whatever, and then build a quilt around them. Thank you so much for the compliments! I appreciate it. I like the way it turned out.
I'm thinking about starting a Personal Diary on here. I could write to my hearts content and share the quilts that went "bad" and the ones that I still want to make since my original layout idea didn't work for that one. (They will work on some other quilt though!) Thanks again!

Your approach to quilting starts very similar to mine. I see a block, like it, make it up and from there, where it goes and what happens will be know in the end. Yours are so beautiful and more thought out than mine and it's obvious but it sure is fun, isn't it. I just found the diary area yesterday myself and have been considering it myself as that would be a nice way to document what's going on.
Thank you so much Patty. Yep! We approach quilts about the same then. It's hard to tell what mine will look like too when I get them finished. Yes! It is definitely alot of fun. I love laying them out, taking pictures, moving them around in different layouts, etc. I even go so far sometimes as to make things in 3 different colors, to see which I really like best. I did that on my Field of Diamonds.
I have been thinking about the diary too. My Grandma always wanted me to write a book about my life. Can you believe that? I wrote her very detailed letters about everything that went on and she saved them all. I always keep a diary as a child and then a journal alot of the time as an adult. I think it may be fun to start my Quilting Diary on here.
Thank you very much for the compliments on my abilities and my quilts. I love your work too!
