I also want to say that I love the way you describe making your colour choices and why you are trying to get from a particular group of fabrics. I find it consistently thought-provoking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-65856417255904968132022-08-13T04:01:42.711-07:002022-08-13T04:01:42.711-07:00Oh my, Flower Power is speaking to me!

I learned to sew in 4-H and wish I had kept some of those projects just to look back on. My first quilt, a baby coverlet, was made in 1980. I still have it and have many questions about why I didn't use batting?!? I simply can't remember.Mayleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031211428004445817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-40115039019517808962022-08-12T04:11:02.247-07:002022-08-12T04:11:02.247-07:00The love apple quilt looks gorgeous.

I made a summer dress as I recall and actually wore the thing!!:0))<br /> I next sewed for my two children and when they got to be teens I began to quilt after a friend induced me to go to a local Quilt Show --I was totally smitten--the rest is history--I was around 28 yrs old...ah youth!!<br />So quilting over 50 yrs now...

Back then it was clothing that I made or remodeled from larger items that could be cut down to size - like an old pleated skirt - there is a lot of fabric in those things!! I made my first quilt in 1974 I think and it looked horrible - it consisted of embroidery blocks for the top and big patch work of this and that fabric for the back. I didn't know how to quilt and I tied it then later I quilted it but I still didn't know what I was doing with it and knots were every where. I made my first quilt in 1988 that turned out. Never took a class - I guess it would have been helpful LOLKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-64997142482543303822022-08-04T17:34:22.260-07:002022-08-04T17:34:22.260-07:00The free cut strips totally make Flower Power!
