This is my wee play quilt. I love it! I am going to make it bigger though. I'm going to make 16 more and make one more long and short row. I LOVE big quilts. Plus, I think this will my picnic quilt. I'm going to put chambray on the back so I feel like if it's on the grass it should be okay. I just figure if I can't enjoy my fabric/quilts then what's the point? I need these quilts to be usable otherwise I just have a bunch of quilts laying around. Am I crazy????Friday, May 29, 2009

Yes you are crazy... Its really good to be crazy about one thing...i believe you are gifted.. Work from home
ReplyDeletenot at all. i think quilts should be used and loved!
ReplyDeleteYou don't make these to sit on a shelf in a closet, do you? Heck no! They are meant to be used and loved as often as possible! Fabric can be washed! Picnic away, I say! :)
ReplyDeletecrazy like a fox, maybe. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! It would make me want to do a picnic, just to sit on it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way. I love to use my quilts! Your quilt is lovely. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are right - quilts are meant to be use. i won't simply start on anything until I'm ascertain that it will be use. Thus, many projects are shelved. I am planning to use flannel for both the batting/backing (just two layers) for the elder nephew/niece lap quilts but plan to make prototype (most likely a tabletop for a friend in Australia.
ReplyDeleteno i totally agree...they need to be seen and loved. Now if i could only get up enough courage to follow my own advice
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful colors, I really enjoy looking
ReplyDeleteit.Quilts made to sit in closet? No way, they are made with love so THEY HAVE TO BE USED EVERY DAY. Have a nice weekend...
I'm exactly the same. I LOVE making big quilts....and love using them. People are horrified that i let my cats sleep on them all but they are made to be used and loved!!
ReplyDeleteNot one bit crazy! I'm doing the same thing, and using a heavry fabric for the backof my picnic quilt. My mom was aghast - you're going to put that ont eh ground?! - yes I am! The fun is in the using.
ReplyDeleteI agree-- use a quilt! I am making a picnic quilt also. My husband saw it lsat week and procaimed it "Too pretty and nice." He refuses to have it used outside.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I feel quilts should be used. I give baby quilts to my friends, and they are afraid to use them. I tell them they had better use them, because that's what they're for! Your wee play quilt looks very fun!
ReplyDeleteNothing bothers me more than to make a quilt and give it to someone only to find that they have "put it away" so it won't get worn. I put all that time and love into them I want someone to use them. Even if that means I have to repair them later because someone loved a hole in them. Which has happened with a quilt that I gave my niece when she was born. She loves it and it shows. :) But I'd rather repair them than have them living in a closet somewhere. Can you tell I have strong feelings about this? So use that fabric and enjoy those quilts! By the way, the wee play quilt is looking good.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the pattern!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this quilt. I love the colors and the pattern. And yes, quilts are made to be used over and over again.
ReplyDeletethe quilt looks amazing!!!!!!! perfect for a picnic!!!
