I lo...I too am confused by terminology these days. I love this quilt! I think you are a bit harsh on yourself. Your curves looked wonderful in the photos! To answer today question where does inspiration come from... answer: you. I have a bunch of low volume charms squares from a swap that I didn't know what to do with until now! Thank you!

I have a feeling this is going to be a really different kind of quilt show, and I think you should enter it. It would be a shame not to, because this quilt is truly fabulous :)Elizabeth Dacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08411845598348993307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279137714915877752.post-64991974457405331132012-11-28T19:34:47.420+00:002012-11-28T19:34:47.420+00:00It's fab.

At least half of your quilt is a showcase of your art and creativity and your skill set doesn't have much bearing on that. I've read that in the 1800's people would put a purposeful mistake in it so as not to be too perfect. Your quilt should be seen by lots of people!jeifnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661991907559740116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279137714915877752.post-53221552393931934522012-11-28T05:23:25.036+00:002012-11-28T05:23:25.036+00:00Well, your quilt looks awesome!!

I figure that even if it doesn't win that people will want to look at lots of different examples of modern quilting and that they won't be able to see my mistakes from behind the ropes. ;) They need to see yours too!<br /><br />I would say either minimalist or use of negative space. Because it is a minimalist design, but I also love what you did piecing the background. Tons of interest, but still subdued. I would say it is a toss up.<br /><br />ENTER IT!Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687956328790829812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279137714915877752.post-23196506614346173042012-11-23T19:54:02.083+00:002012-11-23T19:54:02.083+00:00I think it looks bloody splendid whatever you want...I think it looks bloody splendid whatever you want to call it!Mrs Flying Blind...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064004823351464643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279137714915877752.post-2912196300072724862012-11-23T18:53:13.767+00:002012-11-23T18:53:13.767+00:00I am reminded of a quiltcon block that was sent in...I am reminded of a quiltcon block that was sent in at the last minute--I knew it was late and the seams didnt' lie flat (oh, the horror) so how could it possibly be chosen and yet, it was. The design was someone else's and the quilter simply elaborated on it. Again, wholly surprising that it was not only allowed but chosen to be in the raffle quilt. So you don't know what Those Who Wear White Gloves are thinking. (Unless, of course, they choose yours. Then they're geniuses out on weekend family pass from the asylum.) ♥All kidding aside, this is a spectacular quilt and definitely (infinitely) worthy of the chance to win. enter it today.♥♥Duffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12636156245924832329noreply@blogger.com
