I have so many things to blog about. Two finished quilts, at least two more in progress, some linky love for other blogs, a couple book reviews, and some favorite fabrics. I even have the photos, which can be the challenge some days. This time my problem is that every time I sit down here, I don’t have any words.
I’m not sure if there’s too many thoughts in my head and I can’t get them out, or if my brain is empy! I wish my mom could read my thoughts and write it down for me. OK, let’s amend that: I wish my mom could read the part of my mind that thinks about quilts and bloggy stuff 😉 cause she’s a great writer and knows how to translate the thoughts to words.
I think part of my problem is that I don’t want to be as dry as sawdust here, and sometimes describing a quilt does feel a bit dry and flaky. I was into it and enjoying it while I was making it. Now it’s completed, and I’m onto the next project. I still really like it, but I SO don’t feel the excitement anymore. I guess I have some serious crafting ADD!
I nearly always have this problem too 🙂 It's a beautiful quilt though so it speaks for itself.
This is really stunning! I love the colors and fabrics:)
This quilt is just like all of your other quilts – BEAUTIFUL. Love the color combo.
Just love these colours, Jo!! And btw, you don't need any changes to your blog design… it's simple and modern and perfectly suits your style 🙂
I adore these colors togther! It makes me instantly want to go to my stash and try these colors.
I know what you mean… I am already thinking about the next 10 projects while my hands are still working on the current project. The photos speak for themselves though! The quilt is gorgeous.
so lovely, and what a perfect way to use large scale prints! brilliant.
This quilt needs no words. It's simply beautiful …..
Oh wow, this looks gorgeous! Love the colors.
I am in love with that quilt. What's the fabric line you used?
Stunning! It looks so perfect all draped over that gorgeous chair. Well done 🙂
This quilt is beautiful! Love the colors.
That is a really beautiful quilt. Really.Beautiful.Quilt.
Beautiful colors, and I love the wonky stars!
Very lovely!
Very very pretty. We just made the cutest apron out of those fabrics! Great colors.
Great quilt, love the colours!
Just let the quilt speak for itself, we will understand 🙂
Jolene, that first photo is absolutely stunning! The contrast of the quilt and the chair, the way the light hits it – awesome! Oh, and by the way, it's a really nice quilt! I always enjoy reading your posts – don't worry so much about sounding dry! I think most of the time a quilt speaks for itself, and if people want specifics, they can ask and you can reply in e-mail. Some people just post vital statistics for a quilt – pattern name/designer, size, fabrics used, start and finish dates. That's one way to deal with the quilt info so you can get on to other things! Anyway, thanks for sharing!
Hmmmm….how about….GORGEOUS! Because it really is! 😉

I second Johanna! You can always just share the pics and say very little. We'll get it. (and we all know what you mean about getting "over" a project).
I was thinking about this quilt – I saw a color that I call cheddar, and then I saw an aqua blue – so my mind said "Bleu Cheese"!!!!! It's beautiful – and beautifully quilted, too! Thanks for sharing it!
It is a beautiful quilt and the first photo is just perfect. It's a great design for this fabric.
I know what you mean too, I am already thinking about the next few projects even when I have just started the current one.
Beautiful quilt…..it speaks for itself! I have the same trouble sometimes when I write my blog…..I feel like I had so much to say and when I sit down to type it's gone 🙂 I enjoyed your post….beautiful pictures too!
Its wonderful eye candy! Thank U! Did you create that pattern? If not… whats it called? I'd love to try making it as a wedding gift for our kids. Thanks & really enjoy yr posts!
This quilt is simply gorgeous!

I love this quilt. The perfect combination of traditional patterns with modern fabrics. I think that's my favorite thing about your blog (p.s. I just discovered you, so I'm about a year and a half behind the curve. 🙂
I like the colour combination of this quilt, I like combining stars with squares to show the fabric. I think I wouldn't have bought the fabric, but here I like it. I understand your feelings but I think you've got a pretty quilt.
