I've pulled out a top started in January at our little quilt retreat in Shipshe. Jan helped me work thru design decisions - sometimes the quilt you see in your mind doesn't translate to the design wall. This top is using bowties exchanged in our old sewing group.
I've also pre-washed fabric purchased for a wall hanging of one of my favorite NYC Red and White quilts -
pre-washing and drafting complete. I have plenty to keep me occupied while rooting on the USA!
Jan and I had a wonderful NYC visit. Wish I could spend hours exploring the library!

that red and white is wonderful--I may have to draft my own!
I like the browns - I have a bolt of that pillar print ;-)
But, if doesn't speak to you ... it doesn't!
Love your red and white choice. Very elegant.
Sometimes the quilt projects need to "mature." I have been to NY so many times and never once visited that library. I am going to make a point of getting to it next time. I keep remembering that red and white show. Wasn't it just amazing?
Sometimes you need a nice mellow quilt.... Love your red and white choice!!
I like the pinwheels, classic and wonderful. Love the bow ties too.
Glad you had a nice visit to NY - let me know next time and I'll buy you a drink!
looking forward to your red and white project.
Hooray for the olympics!
I love the idea of a time out for a quilt you aren't feeling inspiring! The red/white quilt is gorgeous. THAT would be inspiring!
I really like the bowties. And the red/white is a wonderful design! That will be a treasure!
i quite like the softness of the browns in your quilt, I hope it can redeem itself in your eyes.
What a stunning red and white quilt , gorgeous quilting too. Can't wait to see your wall hanging when you get it finished.
The red & white quilt is amazing. Will you remain true to the color palette? I do like the brown bowties, you may try a small inner boarder of a complementary color, like the inner border of a matted frame, then try your border fabric. I've found that bit of space and a pop of color helps to concentrate the focus of a quilt. I've just found your blog, and look forward to reading past posts.
