This doesn’t happen much for me, but ALL this week, I couldn’t get my design idea down.
My HST blocks were sewn, but my very simple layout (something like this) wasn’t sitting right with me on the design wall. I knew I wanted the colors, and the white downy flannel. I went pin wheel, zig zag, rearranged to on-point singles, you know…the hst menagerie. Concluding with deserving satisfaction on this. I love flannel, I love matching points, I love the blockie color goodness.
Even if I was annoyed with my lack of inspiration this past week, my cup is now overflowing from the massive amount of left over blocks. Acting on a small idea and seeing where it takes you can result in a few scraps.

I’ve had thoughts of hand quilting this one, and am hoping to meet up with some awesome people to learn it with. I’m happy to say The Seattle Modern Quilting Guild has received an incredibly enthusiastic response!
So a big call out to any crafty peeps out there wanting to be part of getting the Seattle Modern Quilting Guild off the ground. You can now check us out/join HERE. It will be giddy fun to talk sewing to others who want to do the same! Sew Mama Sew’s forum also has a thread for getting a Sewing Circle together. Go find yourself some stitchy friends.
Your design is looking gorgeous.
Truly ‘inspired’.
ANdi 🙂
truly awesome. I’ve got an itching to do some hand quilting at the minute too. Ordered a new hoop for the job last week…now I need to make a quilt worthy of hand quilting!
Very pretty — a nice combination of colors/fabrics.
It’s great! I’m not a fan of matching points though 🙂
You can do so much with a HST! Looks lovely.
Oh dear… I want to move to Seattle right now and be inspired by you all the time. Any chance, you and your fam are coming to Asheville? You always have a place to stay with us. Every time I check back in with you, you are doing more and more phenomenal work. Just beautiful. Really. That’s not my path right now, and I’m green with envy. Keep it up!
I love your scrappy patchwork hst squares…what a great solution to your piecing problem.
That Grandma Moses painting is so pretty. I need to find some prints of quilting paintings for my sewing room.
I’m in Llluuuvv with this one!!! 😉
XO, Heather
your quilt top is awesome Katie! I want to make a quilt of that dinner table in the photo, it’s awesome!
