You made me laugh out loud with your dog, hope your kitten doesn't find out about it :)<br /><br />-SomaSoma @ inkTorrents.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820728287018415555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-56690816762283060222016-02-03T22:29:09.481+00:002016-02-03T22:29:09.481+00:00Ha, love the dog, about died laughing right there ...Ha, love the dog, about died laughing right there and I am so sick from a cold, really perked me up. I find it odd that people won't cut up fabric to use for improve quilts. It is all fabric and if I want to use that color/print I cut up a piece. You have to cut it up for regular quilts or "planned" quilts so why not for improve. I think it is time we give our improve a higher status instead of just to use up scraps. I think "scrappy" sometimes becomes "crappy" in some peoples minds and I think our beautiful works of art need to be on a level with the "others". I find your work and many others work in improve beautiful as well as the more "normal" ones we see.Lynnwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408775430993261531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-38892187588697101102016-02-03T22:28:25.479+00:002016-02-03T22:28:25.479+00:00It seems I can only do improv with scraps.

They are quite creative with them and are getting very skilled at improv doll clothes making. It's fun to watch them.

I hadn't ever thought about it, but you are so right about how using scraps teaches us more about the use of color.

They have now become my favorite quilts. You are so right the way the fabrics play off of each other really makes your eye move from block to block. I picked a bouquet of flowers in my flower garden one day and was admiring how the more variety I added the more I like the bouquet. A light bulb went off, and that is when I stopped worrying about the right shade of fabric to go into a quilt. Now quilting is a whole lot more fun!Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.com
