Italian Meatballs

Okay so your not gonna find any meatballs here today, it was just a teaser.    But I did find it funny that while having a post funeral pitch-in today they served Italian meatballs.  And let me tell you my family is anything but Italian.  Most of them come closer to Hillbilly.  Oh and the funeral was one of those sad but expected kinda things, we all had a good time, strange I know.    Anyway....while reading another blog today it was mentioned that she chose a certain fabric because it reminded her of Tuscan pottery.   Well of course that sent me into google land.  I now know why she loved Tuscan pottery so much.  I've seen many quilts that mimic this style.  What an inspiration....

Oh my goodness...the ideas are flowing for some more applique!   Talk about quilting out of your comfort zone!  Hope you found some inspiration!

Until next time....

QUILT OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

Looking for inspiration

I started this back in December.   It was supposed to be finished in time for the Iron quilter contest at Missouri Star Quilts.  But I bit off more than I could quilt with the hand applique.  Anyway its next on the quilt frame and I've no idea how to quilt it.  Pulled out all my books today  looking for inspiration, now I'm searching  cyberland.  As I sit looking at it now I'm thinking I might add another border of white and then scallop....Or maybe wavy cut where the white and blue come together. Something seems missing....  I was hoping to get this done in time for a small quilt show at the start of June but the way its going it doesn't look possible.  However I have named the quilt already "Summer Romance".
