What I would like to know about popular quilts of today..who came up with all the loud crazy prints .Put together to be a quilt..Some are so busy it takes away from the quilt it's self..They do not have the homey feeling that a quilt use to have..But I know we all have different taste..

Chevrons seem to be everywhere again. Funny, I didn't care for them before and now I find myself drawn to them. As for the solids, I keep a supply of Moda's FQ in solids on hand all the time. They are invaluable in so many situations.

Okay, I just bought Anita Hallock's book from Amazon along with a great deal on 500 embroidery designs. I'm starting to incorporate embroidery into some of my quilt projects which I find really enhances the finished item. Of course I need another book like a hole in the head, but it keeps me out of the bars.

I am glad to see this!!

I think that this is the circle of life for wait a time and the new is the old just dressed up. Think of the Simplicity patterns that we threw away years ago! And I gave my daughter a good pair of shoes for her birthday at 64, what she picked out for work was what my mother wore for everyday in the 1930s...but at ten times the price. I am sneaking up on 89 so have hopes pretty soon I will be back in style. Why should quilts be any different?

I also have a lot of homespun and am thinking about cutting it up and making a scrap quilt. A lot of it is tan and white, which I think will make a restful quilt or a very boring one!

In this area the biscuit or puff quilts are making a come back.
