Let’s talk about this quilt:
I love this quilt. Don’t you love this quilt? It’s by joystitch (austysmum on flickr), and I seriously doubt my ability to make a quilt like this.
Know why?
Because ever since I started quilting almost 15 years ago, I started seeing the world as a giant grid. Like, look at the scene in front of you and superimpose the lines from a sheet of graph paper overtop. That’s pretty much my worldview. So when I saw this quilt, in which the top row and the bottom row are made up of little blocks that are not even of uniform width, it was like I’d stepped into the Land of Oz or something.
In a good way, of course.
This quilt is a good lesson for me. Could I make something like this? Of course. Do I make things like this? No, because the thought doesn’t occur to me. That’s the problem with thinking outside the box/grid/whatever – you have to remember to do it!
So hats off to the maker of this adorable piece of art. You are an inspiration in the very best way!
