What was your inspiration?

All these other crafters. And, I had a ton of fabric that was slated for a Koos style applique jacket that was not getting made... so I decided to do my first-ever quilt! Really enjoying Amy Gibson's videos and teaching style. Very comfortable, very informative, easy to follow/understand.

What are you most proud of?

That I've actually managed to do this quilting -- it's amazing. If you like logic puzzles, you'll like quilting.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to cut the fabric. And, enjoy yourself. And, it's your quilt -- make it the way You want it!

Love your use of animal prints.

the lighter background works because you have the same fabric in other blocks. I really like your style!

Your blocks just keep getting better and better. Don't worry about the backgrounds. There's no reason why you can't mix up the composition as we go. I love them all just as they are!

Thanks! You should have seen me trying to recreate your Balkan Frame block (w/o instructions) using just your picture! Pretty funny, I'm sure.

Thanks! I put these six blocks all together and had a "gack" moment when the light background fabric blocks showed up so different from the dark background fabric blocks. I got over it, though. ;-)
