Okay, here I go again.
I don't think I am a quilter. I don't honestly know if I enjoy it or not. Then again, I have only made 3 quilts if you count my lead blanket I made out of old jeans, and I certainly do count it!
But, since I made Danielle a quilt and she liked it, I decided in my mind to make each grandchild a quilt, even if it takes me the rest of my life, which is entirely possible! HAHA
Courtney loves the colors of mint/aqua/turquoise type greens and gray, so that is what colors I will use in her quilt. She is like me and likes a floppy quilt so I will try to see if June will quilt it with a little less filling than Danielle's quilt. The one I tacked for my bedspread was made with filling from Walmart, and it is very floppy, so I may end up doing the quilting myself although I can't see anything but a mess there.
This will be interesting to see how it goes. I have cut out most of the pieces and sewn up 12 blocks so far.
I am weird I guess but I don't like traditional quilt patterns. I like something more random. When I made Danielle's quilt I used a pattern I saw on pinterest. It didn't look like any pattern I had seen, but I admit I don't know much about many quilt patterns.
I started Courtney's quilt with a random pattern in mind, but when I laid the blocks together I didn't care for the way it looked. Really kinda busy. So, I rearranged the blocks into a more traditional type pattern and they look 100% better! See now, sometimes traditional is better.
I still only do squares, because they look hard to do, I have tried and made a mess of them, and I don't like to sew enough to learn how to do them well. And I doubt I ever venture into triangle pieces or applique, although I already lied, I appliqued some words onto Danielle's quilt...
Anyway, we will see what we will see when I get it done...
