Go figure. My fabrics are doing the same - they are much more similar now that I've cut them. I like the bit of green you added vertically even though you may not use it. And of course, the pinwheels are great.

The shirts make it a much more individual interpretation, which is so much more you. I'm gutted may blog STILL isn't sorted, but if I can get it up and running again, I'll join in with AHIQ :) x<br />Stephiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461286927746997845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-2650035538849002332017-02-21T15:53:44.691+00:002017-02-21T15:53:44.691+00:00The pinwheels are a great addition.

I agree with others (above) this is much more "like you" than your first start. This is a difficult challenge for me, therefore, a real one. I am inspired to see where I can take it. I've been having a hard time working on anything here, partly due to the way life has become a question of sitting indoors waiting for the rain to stop. Tomorrow morning I'm going to see what can be done to get my coins jingling again!<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07064704260223262652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-56517462656424129362017-02-21T02:18:24.231+00:002017-02-21T02:18:24.231+00:00This is going to a handsome quilt!

This palette is closer to your sensibilities and feels more like your work. <br /><br />I've finished my own AHIQ quilt and plan to post it in a few days. It's an odd interpretation of several of the modern quilt books that I haven't put down since I got them at Christmas. Strangely, I have read and re-read them but can't seem to recreate the patterns. Instead everything has to have my twist and then ends up becoming something entirely different. lol I'm beginning to think that the quilts in my head have their own ideas.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-27497567640946493742017-02-21T02:17:53.541+00:002017-02-21T02:17:53.541+00:00Sometimes it takes some trials to find what really...Sometimes it takes some trials to find what really sings to you.

(I've been saving my husband's older shirts to make a quilt for him when he retires in a year or so. He won't need the shirts then and I'll be free to cut up most of the rest of what is in HIS closet when he cleans it out for post-work life.)
