Inspiration

Question....do you plan your quilts?  Or, do they just happen?

Mine mostly just happen.  I get a lot of ideas from Pinterest, from magazines such as Quiltmaker Magazine  (I especially LOVE their 100 Blocks magazine published twice a year.  One of these days I'm going to make every block in one of those magazines.) and Quilters Newsletter .

I also like a website called 24 Blocks (which you can "like" on Facebook.)  What I like about 24 Blocks is they feature quilts made by the likes of you and me....who quilt for love and fun (not necessarily for $$.)  (I've had two of my quilts featured on 24 Blocks.  See my post for Feb 18, 2015.)

Just this morning I saw a quilt on 24 Blocks and I actually have made that same pattern!  (It was one of my very first quilts and frankly mine was not very good.)


Here is my version of this same quilt.

Cat Adoption Team Fund Raiser 2010
Even though it wasn't very good, in my opinion,
it did sell for $450!  I was thrilled! (So was Cat Adoption Team.
See my previous posts for Whisker Wonderland.)
I saw this quilt on this same website a couple days ago.

Storm At Sea
from 24 Blocks.com


I actually did an internet search for "Storm at Sea quilt pattern" and found THIS and THIS.  Click the links, check 'em out.  What I liked about this pattern was there were so many variations.  You need to click the links and check out all the different variations.

That's all for today....Happy sewing.
