As I sort through all my fabric, I continue to pull fabrics for specific quilt projects I know I want to make. Now I am up to BUCKET LIST QUILT # 6.
Last year I had a fabulous trip to Texas in April--Beaumont, Austin, and Victoria. Austin was "playtime" with 3 new-to-me friends and we had a great time. Read about that trip here; TEXAS 2024
At a terrific quilt shop in Wimberly Texas I bought a yard and a half of a panel I loved, planning to make a special quilt for my granddaughter Stella. Click for a closeup to read the words of inspiration:
Now I've decided to make a quilt with this for ME--Stella will get whatever is left.
Once I decide on a BUCKET LIST QUILT, or any quilt project, really, I go to the closets and start pulling fabrics I think will work. Mostly I am concerned with COLOR, then TEXTURE--or the "feel" of the fabric designs. And I always want a variety of Lights, Mediums and Darks. At lease one DEEP DARK and one SPARKLER--like bright orange or lime green.
I LOVE "shopping in my closet", after all, I bought this stuff because I loved it or knew it would be right for a "someday" project.
Here is the fabric pull for this quilt. It is surely more than I will need but it gives me lots of options for design as I have no idea at the moment what this quilt will look like:
These BUCKET LIST QUILTS are in no particular order. I simply wrote about them as they made the list. At this point in my life, I am deciding what quilts I REALLY WANT TO MAKE going forward. My plan is to have 10 quilts identified by the end of this year.
