What do your qults say?
 

After looking at the newest creation by Wendy (frood) and the beginnings of
another Jalynne and I discussed the topic, do our quilts reflect who we are?
Im not talking about the quilt that we made for Aunt Mabel in shades of plum
and puce geometrics cause thats what she asked for to go with her newly
decorated bedroom... but the ones we make for ourselves, to satisfy our
inner creative urges.
If your quilts could talk, what would they say about your personality?

At first glance, one would think that the quilts i make for myself (which no one has
actually seen yet, since they're either in the works or design phase) are plain and
boring, but when you look closer, you can see that there is much more than meets the
eye at first glance. I'm a lot like that. Full of character and fun. I'm simple,
yet complex. I am conservative and traditional, but like the occasional splash of
the unexpected. The quilts i make for others say something about me, too. It says
that I love them so much, that I will set aside my personal preferences to make
something that I know they will cherish. Is that was you were getting at, Di?

Hmmmmmm.. feeling a bit deep and meaningful this morning were we Di? lol,
my quilts would say, I'm a bright and fun loving gal but a traditionalist
with a mad side which is overshadowed by my conservatism. I've also got a
very strong inner child who is a bit topsy turvy. I think. Sounds about
right.

really like fabric, and I really like color. On the next level, they
say I am rooted in tradition, although my style is unique. They say I
don't follow trends. They also say I have cats...

ok (leaving J's post in seeing as Di didn't get it) - now I have to think
bout this
The real me quilts usually have black backgrounds although some have other
colours (usually solids though) and bright colours that stand out more cos
of the black. Sometimes the backgrounds seem to overwhelm the quilts (to
some people anyways) and I s'pose that's the part that shows what people
usually see of me - conservative and boring - but then the colour jumps out
and whacks you when you're not expecting it - just like me stirring up
trouble when people least expect it. I s'pose the shapes (usually diamonds
and hexagons and occasionally interlocking circle shapes) show my more
logical and analytical side - takes a few close inspections to see the
smaller shapes making up the larger obvious shapes.
ohhh .. and the black backgrounds don't show the quilt inspector's trail
(black poodle hair) so that's the practical side of me.
And my kaleidoscope keeps screaming at me to finish it cos it's decided on
it's own name (will be my first quilt with a name) and wants to be
introduced into society as soon as possible. (show off that it is)

At first glance, one would think that the quilts i make for myself (which
no one has
actually seen yet, since they're either in the works or design phase) are
plain and
boring, but when you look closer, you can see that there is much more than
meets the
eye at first glance. I'm a lot like that. Full of character and fun.
I'm simple,
yet complex. I am conservative and traditional, but like the occasional
splash of
the unexpected. The quilts i make for others say something about me, too.
It says
that I love them so much, that I will set aside my personal preferences to
make
something that I know they will cherish. Is that was you were getting at,
Di?

After looking at the newest creation by Wendy (frood) and the beginnings
of
another Jalynne and I discussed the topic, do our quilts reflect who we
are?
Im not talking about the quilt that we made for Aunt Mabel in shades of
plum
and puce geometrics cause thats what she asked for to go with her newly
decorated bedroom... but the ones we make for ourselves, to satisfy our
inner creative urges.
If your quilts could talk, what would they say about your personality?

My quilts would say:

"You know, Mom really can't make up her mind what she likes! First, she has
this beautiful whole cloth quilt on her bed that she adores, then she has
this sampler in repro fabrics, both (sampler pattern and repro fabrics)
something that she said she couldn't stand at one time, and now it's her
favourite quilt. Go figure.

But, seriously, Mom prefers the quilts that show off her handquilting so
that would mean the wholecloth and her beloved tulip quilt. Personally, I
think Mom has lost it though.... she's collecting as many brights as she can
for this new project she has in her head. I'm really nervous about what
she's planning.....I mean, you should see that baby quilt she just sent off
to someone. She should have written a warning label on the package to wear
sunglasses before opening. I mean really! Orange and yellow and neon green..
.. on a baby quilt? What was she thinking?? Ok, I know babies like bright
colours, but I thought Mom lost it for sure on that one....."

Yeah, that's what my quilts would say about me, I think. ;-)

I hope my quilts say, "That old bat may look crabby and mean, but she loves
pretty, colorful things and she has a warped sense of humor."

LN, I'm curious... has your begging ever resulted in anyone
sending you a quilt?

Kelly
Beaverton, OR

Yes - it was called The beggar's Quilt, and somewhere on this machine is
a picture I must post! It was small enough to post, big enough to hide
a fair number of chocolate buttons from the nosy postal inspectors!

I'm sure it wasn't the only one...

I always thought of myself as a traditional quilter, but
lately it's changed. I find myself drawn to dark quilts
with tiny splashes of bright color.

Hmm, wonder what this means.

I like the concept of you being mother to your quilts. They must be
teenagers, cause they arent short on opinions about you !! lol

In every quilt you make, even if it is for someone else it has part of you
in it. So, maybe your quilts say you are a kind, giving person?

They'd say, "Finish me"!

You know? With the exception of the one I started to make for myself,
I don't feel any of my personality is reflected in them.
I made them for others, and I'm the kind of person who sets
aside my dislikes of something and makes or gives that person
what they_ like instead of what I'd like to give them.
And, even the quilt I started for myself was dictated by the fabric
I had on hand.
In my mind's eye, however, I see a quilt with my personality
in it. I see pastel shades in rows that move over each row by one,
in entirely solid colors, no prints.
I also see one of those GSD wall hangings.

Someday...

Terri

Send one to me. Perhaps they are just being shy in front of you ;-)
