VT Quilt Pictures

I guess I didn't sleep very well last night because I woke up so tired. I know I am not going to get very much done tonight so I thought I would preemptively post pictures of the quilt before I take it down from my design wall and make an attempt at quilting it some more.

I decided to try something a little different than just my standard stippling. The quilting is a 4 petal flower that echos 3 times right now but I am going to connect all of the flowers somehow....I guess I will figure that out tonight. I've been really inspired lately to try something different from my standard stippling because I've been reading Leah Day's 365 Days of Free Motion Quilting Filler Designs blog. You rock Leah. You totally rock. If you haven't checked her site out, "do it".



Happy Quilting!

Rainbow Around the Block

I was checking out different blogs today and stumbled on Ana Maria Horner's blog. I haven't bought any of her books yet but I have purchased some of the fabric she designed. She is leading efforts to donate quilt blocks for families who lost their homes and belongings during the flooding that happened in Middle Tennessee in May 2010. I think this is a really neat idea and I am going to try to make a few blocks to donate. If you are interested you should check out her blog or her page for the Rainbow Around the Block donation effort.
