I thin...Navel Gazing....there's a quilt title! I think people want to know how you make your quilts because you have a "style". Most people can't come up with their own designs and your's flow out endlessly. It doesn't matter if YOU piece or fuse, but someone trying to learn wants to know. <br /><br />I love your designs and color choices. Always a pleasure to look at your blog.

Up until about a year ago I thought I NEED...Amen!!! Up until about a year ago I thought I NEEDED to make full sized quilts to be considered a quilter. What changed my thinking?? Blogs like yours...thank you very much :) I always got bored with making a full sized quilt because I have a short attention span (sad, but true). So, after reading so many "artist" quilter's blogs I decided to go smaller. I'm so much happier with myself and my quilts. It's more fun and I find I can be more creative if I think "smaller". I tried for years to make Traditional quilts but lost my enthusiasm. I started making Contemporary and Modern quilts and I'm enjoying the process more than I ever did making Traditional quilts.<br /><br />Thanks for all your inspiration :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-86675237111644987052011-07-08T09:09:44.260-04:002011-07-08T09:09:44.260-04:00I agree...just keep making the art that makes you ...I agree...just keep making the art that makes you (and us) happy!!<br />BTW, I just found an orange lacquered file cabinet in a catalog that I think will work next to the yellow desk and under "Full Sails"!Susan Turneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864635774677436375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-45310808097421722072011-07-08T08:51:47.483-04:002011-07-08T08:51:47.483-04:00Great thoughts.

The QAYG technique is a neat one, as are many others that I can get lost in the fun of trying something new. I like your idea about getting art to many people by keeping it small and affordable. Thanks for the insights.Nancy Bowronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08571557359142404851noreply@blogger.com
