A Little Bit of Inspiration….

I have realized that I am worried about the quilting on the Quilt-of-Valor that my friend, Marnie, and I are making.

I am worried that I don’t have a good inspiration for the quilting and that I am going to MESS IT UP ROYALLY!!

Well, last week I showed you my idea for quilting flags in the top and bottom border and that got me to thinking about STARS and STRIPES,

And, just like that, an inspiration was born!!

I love how these alternating blocks are looking….

…and now I can’t wait to get to Saturday so that I can spend a whole day working on it!!

What “sparks” of inspiration have moved you forward in your quilting?

Making the Geese Fly!!

Today we are supposed to be working on the borders of the Orange and Green Charity quilt, but time has gotten away from me, so instead let’s flashback to some great Dot-To-Dot Quilting…..

These simple lines are a great way to emphasize the movement in the Flying Geese blocks…..

I haven’t talked about this quilt in a while, but I love the “Crumbs For The Geese” design…..

Remember that there is pattern available that includes not only the written instructions, but a link to a private video about making flying geese blocks AND making crumb blocks.

You don’t want to miss it.

You can purchase the pattern HERE

Dot to Dot to the rescue!!

As many of you know, I love Angela Walters and her quilting secrets.

One of my favorite designs is her “Dot to Dot” pattern.

It is flexible, fast and fun…..the three BEST “f”‘s!!!

AND, it was the perfect quilting to add to my Orange and Green Charity Quilt!!

I especially like the way the “boxes” encircle the previous quilting…..

Now it’s time to figure out a design for the green triangles!!

See you next Friday…..

FIVE DOTS!!

Last Friday we laid down 21 dots and quilted this fun design…..

Today we are going to make it even easier….. FIVE dots, and great design!!

I do like how this design fits into the 4-inch squares and will definitely plan to use it again…..

Now the question is… “What else can we do with this charity quilt??”

Come back next week to find out!!
