I just got back from spending the week with a friend of mine who is a quilt designer and program giver.We went to Wichita and she gave 2 lectures and an all day workshop. I had so much fun, I even bought a new sewing machine. A Janome DC2010 that I am anxious to use for workshops and retreats.Anyway, my friend Judy has a blog and she is going to start a Quilt for an Hour project in the near future. Her quilt is pictured on the site right now.If any of you have looked at my quilts over the years, you will understand that if you sew all my miniature quilts together, you won't get anything that would keep you warm at night.That said, I bought enough fabric to make the gorgeous quilt that she is going to be doing. This is all strip pieced and is so easy, I can't believe it. Her real specialty is borders and this one has 9 of them. They look hard but they aren't. She works almost exclusively with tone on tones and that is way out of my comfort zone of taupes and chintz.I bought Michael Miller's Fairy Frosts for all the colors in the quilt, which are real close to Judy's. I may have to take a page from Polly's book and wear sunglasses to work on it!Wish me luccccckkkkkkkk!Cindy

No, that would be begging .

YES, I suggested it. She is dying for me to make a person sized quilt.

Why, thank you, Michelle. I'm flattered.

I'm using the same colors as her, of course. I couldn't pick out 4 different fabrics. We did sit and play with EQ and tried different color combinations. I still liked her original the best. Until she posted the colors for the new one she's testing. Now I wish I had chosen those colors. Oh, well. Next time.

Cindy, I haven't seen her 2nd version of the quilt, but I can tell you, it would really have to go some to beat the first one. Your quilt will be beautiful! :-)

Best regards, Michelle in Nevada
