qubee quilts

Yes, I know i t seems like it been forever since I have updated this blog. I was gung hoe on the quilting in the spring. I got lots of projects done and idea's to start new ones, but once it started getting hot outside it seems I just gave up on it. Maybe I'm just lacking focus. I work a little every week on quilts. I mean maybe an hour at the most. This is why I still have blocks to square up on my currant project. I still read all the blogs and check out the fabric websites to see what going on, but I guess I'm just not a summer quilting person. Summer is for doing things you can't do any other time of the year. Camping, hiking, amusement parks, swimming, picnics etc... Once it starts to get cool outside the bug will come and bit me again.

What do you think? Is it to busy? Do you like scrappy or just a few colors? Does it look hard to make? Would you make this pattern and why? Do you think I should make this pattern and send it off to some of the magazines or make it into a pattern of my own and sell it? Keep in mind this is only a small sampling of the over all quilt.

How is your summer going? Mine has been wet. I'm sick of rain. All it seems to do is rain. Sun shine makes me happy. I think there is a song that uses those words. I am hooked on reading blogs. I have something like 100 or more that I read and at times I find it hard to keep up. I have so many that I get to the point of never leaving a comment to let you know I was there. I only look at the pictures to see if I need to read the blog. I am bad, I know. Sorry. Life is just getting in the way. Tonight I checked out The Jelly Jabber from The Fat Quarter Shop (check out their Figgy Stars quilt kit . Love it!!!) and saw the new Crazy Eight Fabric from Sandy Gervais for Moda. I love her bright colors. It really does not look like Christmas, but does that really matter? I have her Christmas fabric Merry and Bright from last year. I got it to make her Through the Woods pattern. I still have to get it done. I have about 50% of it done. It's on my list. Maybe I wil...
