Ok,, so you know I've posted about the blocks I've been working on for a Red and White quilt. This is a request from my quilt guild for the June Quilt Show for 2016. They want to do a display for the show with all of the display in red and white quilts. It will look fabulous.
My issue is this.....I have been dwelling on what pattern/patterns to do. How I want to lay them out. I've been googling red and white quilts, looking in magazines, everywhere I could think of to get inspiration and ideas. After months of this, I finally decided on a design using 3 different blocks, cornerstones and sashing. You see two of the blocks here in these pictures I have posted in some past blogs. I am deep in the construction stage of my red and white quilt, with only 9 blocks to go before I start to work on putting the sashing, cornerstones and blocks together.
In the last week or so, I start getting in the mail, magazines featuring what? Red and white quilts, of course! Today, I get an email with red and white fabric choices it in. Geesh! lol
In one magazine I got, there were, not one, not two, but three double pages of red and white quilts! So, NOW you show me inspiration! TOO LATE NOW! Lol..... Not only that, but I have gotten magazines and emails with red and white combinations of fabric lines as well as more featuring red and white quilts. They just keep coming and coming, continuing to taunt me. Now, I don't need any inspiration for my quilt. I got it figured out already. Stop with the red and white inspiration.....I GOT IT! Really, all in fun, but has this ever happened to you? Have you ever tried to get some inspiration only to find nothing? Then when you finally get it figured out, then comes the inspirational ideas, pictures, magazines, emails, etc? I can only laugh.
Funny how that happens. Anyway, I've been working on some customer quilts and haven't been back to working on those last blocks, so nothing more to show you on the red and white quilt yet.
Just where is this year getting off to? Seems like it was just turning spring the other day, now we are looking at winter just around the corner.
I hope you are having fun on your newest project. Share it here! I would love to see it!
Happy Quilting!
