Sometime ago, I bought a bundle of Half Moon Modern fabrics. They are washed and pressed and awaiting inspiration. For all the reasons I have stated in the past, it is ridiculous to want to use them together, but I do anyway.<\/p>\n

Lately, these fabrics have been on my mind. Though I want to do a difficult, time consuming project as my next start, I also want to get these fabrics out of the Fabric Closet and onto a bed or a wall.<\/p>\n

Some ideas have been coming my way including this Rusty Avenger pattern<\/a>, called Summer Celebration.<\/p>\n

I like the vertical look. I also like the ribbon effect.<\/p>\n

I would use each of the colorways in one ribbon.<\/p>\n

The question in my mind is: do I want to just use the fabric or do I want to use the fabric in a quilt that will matter? Is it possible that a quilt using the Half moon Modern fabrics will matter regardless of the design? Or will it be another flash in the pan?<\/p>\n

I also saw this pattern, Raising the Bar<\/a>,\u00a0 in Quilts and More, Spring 2014 magazine. I was reading in an orgy of quilt indulgence one evening while I waited for the Young Man. It is by Sheila Sinclair Snyder<\/a>. I really like it for a couple of reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I think it shows off the fabric<\/li>\n
  2. It isn’t difficult, but it also isn’t boring<\/li>\n
  3. Except for the border I could easily resize it to accommodate more or less fabric<\/li>\n
  4. I really like the border, which I think makes the quilt more interesting<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The issue is that someone has already made this quilt. I don’t need to make a quilt that someone else has made. I showed the pattern to TFQ and she said that it would look great scrappy. The rectangles remind me of FOTY 2008<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    This whole question makes me think about whether designing from fabric first or pattern first or block first is correct. I don’t think there is a correct answer. I seem to start from different places depending. Is there something more difficult about starting from a group of fabrics? What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
