A Slight Detour

Here I am going off the trail again...do you see a rabbit?

First I was tempted by some beautiful floss, and inspired by some lovely flower wreaths made by others -- I think I can do this...here's the sketch

I was looking at the July/Aug 2012 of Quiltmaker magazine, and I saw the pillow designed by Kellie Wulfson.  I love her work.  

I thought I would try designing my own version. So with a tip of the hat to Kellie here's how min is shaping up

Hot off the presses ( with a wrench)

I just saw this post in my reader and was mesmerized by this old quilt.  Had to do some sketching... I'm calling it a monkey wrench design.

Ok, I should tell you that the old quilt is.  It is pictured and owned now by Church Avenue quilts.  I realize that I love quilts without sashing a lot.  It is so interesting how the pattern of the block can play off it's neighbour's.
