Wow, you sure jumped on this quickly!! I would definitely be interested in selling one just like this, or similar. I am working with Keepsake Quilting trying to develop a block of the month or some similar program. Keep your fingers crossed for me!! Thanks for the compliments. I'd show you the layout, but maybe I should wait for number nine to be finished...hint: it will be turquoise!!

They just keep getting better and better. Good luck with the patterns. Can't wait to see it all done.

This is the kind of fabulous quilt that could make big bucks if marketed to the right audience.

It's such a pleasure to see something original. Best of luck.

My daughter would love to wear the shoes you have designed. These will certainly make a striking quilt.

Perhaps if the Keepsake Quilting pattern doesn't work, you could have a fabric panel printed. I am sure alot of people would buy it (look how many follow your thread here).

Here is a site that you could print the fabric, buy and sell it yourself, or let them do it for you. [url\http://www.spoonflower.com/spoonflower_fabrics[/url]

You could design a pattern around the 9 shoes. If each block cut at 12", you could get 9 blocks from one yard panel, and have a 36" X 6" space for some coordinate (jewelry, makeup, phrases...) to use as sashing or something.

I love all of these shoes :D:D:D

I think that's an idea with a lot of potential. I can't draw to save my life, but I would gladly buy blocks or a panel of your drawings.

Remember Lonni Rossi's geishas from a few years ago? It was sort of the same thing, although they were much,much bigger, and there were only a few ladies. The panels were just the outline of the women, and then you appliqued/embellished whatever and however you wanted to "dress" them.
You started with this:
http://marklipinskisblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/geisha.jpg
and turned it into this:
http://image69.webshots.com/69/4/83/23/2706483230061648096mJFIPR_ph.jpg

I would gladly pay for a panel of shoe blocks like that, even at Spoonflower rates. Or smaller cuts chosen from a larger shoe "collection."
To me, it's like specialty fabrics - marbled, hand-dyes, batik panels - that command a premium.

Good luck with however you decide to market these.
They really are all awesome and incredibly beautiful.

JabezRose 05-21-2011 03:46 AM

I love your painting, looks like real shoe sitting there on the floor just waiting for a foot.

Gramof6 05-21-2011 10:33 AM

Oh My!!!! I would so LOVE to buy a pattern or panel or whatever!!!! This will be such a stunning quilt! And I have a future DDIL that would die for a quilt of these shoes! Please PM me soon as you know what is what with this or how you are going to go with it. Thanks & Congratulations on this.

quilting.addict 05-22-2011 02:37 PM
