<\/a>Second, as an interim solution, I sent off Frolic! to her. I am glad I have some quilts around I can just send off to people in need.<\/p>\n
I love this quilt and had a good time making it, so there is a lot of good karma\/energy associated with it. My friend lives in Hawaii, so it wasn’t cheap to send. It was totally worth it since I can’t be there to hug her in person.<\/p>\n
In the meantime I am still working on a design made specifically in memory of my friend’s daughter. I am thinking that I will repurpose the Tilde fabrics I bought on vacation into this quilt.<\/p>\n A pattern occurred to me that I bought awhile ago, but haven’t yet tried, Country Revival. I don’t know why it is called Country Revival, because it doesn’t look ‘country’ at all to me.<\/p>\n The QCR (etc) patterns I have made, Metro Twist<\/a> and Metroscape<\/a>, have come out well, so I think the end result would be successful. At least is has a chance of being successful.<\/p>\n Obviously the Tilde fabrics would give it a different look than the quilt on the cover. I think I need to find a common fabric I could use in the center to bring the whole quilt together. I think pink would work, even different pinks. I also have that weird blue<\/a>, which might work.<\/p>\n Also, the example quilt is small. I would want to make it larger, maybe 9 blocks. Still work to do to bring it together, but I feel I am on the right track now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After my recent post, I thought more about this quilt and decided that the Jacob’s Ladder pattern wasn’t going to work at all.
