What was your inspiration?

I had just bought a book called 'Making Quilts...the promise of joy' by Kathy Doughty and wanted to make every quilt, so I started with this one. ( It's called 'Pheasantville' in the book)
I have called mine 'State of Mind' as the cog wheel blocks seemed to spin and that is just what my mind was doing, as I had just found out I am going to be a Grandmother for the first time!

What are you most proud of?

I like the colour balance.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have lots of patience, this is a big quilt!

This is absolutely beautiful. I adore bright colours and this is a very bright quilt. Your curves and pointy-bits are wonderful and you should be very proud of yourself (and not just for becoming a Granny!).

Thank you, I'm very pleased with this one. Only a Granny in training still, as my Granddaughter is due early January!
