Sometimes I design a quilt because I want to make it; sometimes I design a quilt because the idea won’t leave me be unless I put it down on paper. It’s usually 50/50 whether those end up sewn

For the latter ones, I’ll shop my stash/check online just because I enjoy fabric shopping itself, see if anything bumps the idea up to ‘must make’

For the idea on the left I found the fabric on the right - on sale! - and now the quilt I’m calling Deck the Nazis is at the top of my to-do list 😂

The hand sewn pebbles have begun, here modeled by Cookie.

Probably a few hundred to go. Remnant fabrics backed by old cotton work shirts. Random circular objects in the house as templates - cups, bowls, bottles, jars, cans, … whatever falls into my hands.

Destined to meander through some painted panels of a very. large. quilted blanket.

I saved that wrinkly seam binding, decades ago, and now it’s making a beautiful addition to this block. 👏🥰🤩

This is the sewing machine cover I made from scraps after finishing my first quilt top. Out of the FOs I've kept for myself, it's the one I enjoy looking at the most.

...Check out the inverse mitered corners on the handle cutout! I don't know how, but they came out clean.
