I don't care what's trendy, I just care that I love it!

This is what I do. The inspiration and new quilt ideas never end. :-P

Keep watching these Boards ... you'll see lots of ideas that are new to YOU ... yet may be old to another quilter! Similarily, what is interestng and intriguing to you, may be of no interest to someone else!

So, as said, a good source is right here on the Threads!!

I am totally curious! Would you please show us what this might be? Thanks!!

It appears Judy Neimeyer designs are all the rage. But they are complicated. I prefer Lisa Moore and ToadUSew quilt patterns because, even though they look somewhat complicated, their methods make them easy. As far as fabric designs. There's so much out there - it's a personal choice.

I just finished "Alice's Tulips" last night. Ive got only one Sandra Dallas book left to read - they are great. I enjoy feedsack repros and patterns.

Hello, A question. I have seen pillow cases made using a tube. Is a tube quilt made basically the same way?

Thanks,

Diane

Tools, tools, tools, I love to find tools which provide either shortcuts or accuracy in doing the cutting and piecing of quilts! My latest find is the Lazy girl designs flying geese ruler, I appreciate the no math and no waste technique used with this ruler!

I check You Tube often. I learn best from being shown and on youtube there is new and fun. This group is also terrific and always willing to share.
