It's never too soon to think about a new quilt, even if we don't start for months and months.




I think this was one of your suggestions (a year or so ago??) when we were talking about a new project:

"One of those crazy (but not) quilt blocks. We could design one together and make the blocks the same size and with the same main fabric and then we could switch off."

What do you think?
Bottom picture is from the internet somewhere. Top quilt is one I made in 1992. Each block has the same pattern but turned a different way and using different fabrics, from among about a dozen different patterns and solids. I remember that the stripey fabric was from someone's old shirt, maybe a grandfather? or father? It was such nice cotton that I had to save it. (Have you heard of the TV show Hoarders? I watched it once. Scary. I'm not quite there but almost. Keeping old shirts reminded me of it.)

I love this idea. I think I'd rather do the top one. The bottom looks harder.
