next up!

 
Quilts I have been procrastinating : POST #160...
hehe!
yeah, I am digging out some oldies...

I am having a show of 6-7 quilts in MAY, and it was left up to me to decide
what I wanted to show... I decided on a bunch of my
Intuition or Abstract quilts...  Things that went together just for the pure fun of PLAY.

So I had to dig through tops and tops to find the ones I want to finish... 
this is One.

My OOPSIE DAISY quilt...

OOPSIE DAISY QUILT
It's fun to go back and see what I was working on a year ago. my how time goes by!

I ordered a bunch of fabric on line and when I got it, I thought, "OOPS! why did I order that? yuck! " but by chance I had this big floral piece sitting there, 
and by the end of that day I had this top cut out... LOL...



I've been anxious to quilt it, but needed a good reason to be motivated...
It's been great fun actually, just highlighting the shapes, filling in the black, and using
the pattern as a guide to how to quilt it...

I like the not thinking part...  :-)


I had a few good chuckles about comments on my Obsession with King size quilts...

I have made a few quilts that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE, 

but darn it, they are to small for my bed...

So? how to fix that?  Make'm all KING!

Hey, Ya never know when you will make just the right one...  

My goal when I make a quilt is always to make a quilt I will love and want to sleep under...  

That's good motivation, right?


(why is blogger double spacing and writing in pink on me...... I give up)

  6. Ditto Carla and Charlotte, I too love the lattice work quilt. Looks like a trellis with a wonderful abstract garden behind it. The colors are great, too.

  8. I too love your blocks on the wall, like we are looking through a window into a fantasy land of color, like OZ - when the movie changes from black and white to color, magical!
