So. I've been reading quilting blogs and looked at countless books on the modern quilting movement. I like the look of the "modern" quilt, although the definition of modern quilting is never completely defined. I know what I like though.
Fabric. Why is fabric always the easiest part? Except that I want to start more than one project at a time. This, I think, is a common problem. So, the fabric I'm going to use in project #2 is the Bliss line of Moda products. It comes in a layer cake and I love it. I purchased said layer cake along with some coordinating fabrics before I knew what I wanted... except to say that I knew that I wanted the Bliss line of Moda fabrics. So, I think I did this backwards. But, see, I learned something.
While looking at blogs I somehow found myself on the When Eight Create blog. They recently posted the Whirligig Quilt and it looked like the perfect "first" quilt. It's made with a layer cake: check. It's smaller so manageable, check. I just needed some white fabric. Easy.
So, I've made the decision. In the process, I've bookmarked about six other quilts I think are my style. And I found another pattern I liked at the fabric store and some stunning fabric I must -- no really -- must have.
Breathe. And follow directions. That's it for now.
Oh, I also ran across a pledge to Blog the Process. Easy. It's sort of what I've been doing. But I Took the Process Pledge.
