Inspiration (and What Scares Me)!
I saw this quilt about a year ago, and I was really inspired by it. I love how the quiltmaker uses vivid Kaffe Fassett prints in conjunction with a very traditional applique quilt pattern. The result is creative and incredibly beautiful! This quilt was one of the reasons that I started stocking up on Kaffe fabrics (hint: they have great sales at Fabric.com) and why I ultimately made my traditional medallion quilt with Kaffe fabrics.
Of course, this is also a technique that scares me (hey, it combines weeks 8 and 9's talking points)! I have done some machine applique, which I enjoy, but I have never tried hand applique. I have a feeling that I might enjoy it, but the thought of how time-consuming it is makes me never want to start. I already have a hexagon quilt and a sashiko project that keeps me busy with plenty of handwork!
PS: I finally started up my blog at www.patchworkduck.com . Please feel free to stop by and say Hi!
