I plan a lot more quilts than I actually make but I’ve spent a couple hours this morning drafting (and shopping for) another quilt.
Do you remember this vintage quilt from eBay?
Even though borders aren’t my favorite thing to sew, I really, really like this quilt and can see making several of them. Connecting Threads came out with a new map line of fabric a few months back and I’ve bought a bunch of it not knowing what I might use it for and I’ve decided this quilt will look good in this collection. I had to shop some because I bought fat quarters and just a little yardage and I needed more yardage. The fat quarters will be saved for another quilt.
Before I could shop, I had to think about my rounds … I drafted several different versions and while I’ll make my final decision once I’m ready to start and have the fabric in front of me, I think it will end up like the quilt on the left.
The one on the left has the strongest visual impact. It should be wonderful.
I have a notebook full of drawings I have made of quilts I want to make. I thought everyone did.
I also like the one on the left. Very nice design! I have so many quilts planned and material bought that I will need to live to 200 to get them all done…lol. But that is what quilters are supposed to do, right!
