WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT QUILTING!
I love turning this...
I finally decided to cut into the only two pieces of Heather Ross fabric I ever managed to get my hands on - the bicycles and camper vans! I think the bicycles came in a kit and I didn't end up using them, and I got the camper vans a few years ago before I even knew who Heather Ross was. Anyway, I have been hoarding them for a long time, pulling them out occasionally to drool over them! I've paired them up with some pink and orange scraps for these free-pieced log cabins. I know I've mentioned this before, but this type of quilting has fast become my favourite! These blocks will be sashed with Kona white. Not sure what I'm going to do for the back yet...perhaps all white with one 'floating' bicycle or camper van. This little quilt is going to be ALL GIRL!

WHY I LOVE TO QUILT!
The possibilities are endless! I can make this...
or this...

or even this...

(not this...)

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I LOVE the endless possibilities - vintage, modern, simple, intricate. All I need is a little inspiration and an idea. I have been reading a lot of posts lately about inspiration. Where does it come from, etc? I find inspiration everywhere - a stack of colourful towels in a department store, changing colours outside my living room window, and, oh, quilts, of course! What inspires you?
