Am somewhat limited by not enough scraps and not enough nerve but I do want to experience the freedom of scrappy. Am also daunted by the number of pieces in many of these quilts -cheesh, talk about sewing forever!Vicki Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13591246665480467311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-33299589509305785062013-03-15T01:59:13.757-07:002013-03-15T01:59:13.757-07:00I love these two quilts btw, made me smile I reme...I love these two quilts btw, made me smile I remember the days of being afraid of using more then 3 to 5 fabrics, LOL! now I am not happy unless I use 30 to 50 or hundreds! the more the better!!!!<br />Kathie <br />antique quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379983489980682690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-79974524133192047792013-03-15T01:57:31.987-07:002013-03-15T01:57:31.987-07:00sometimes I wish I would have kept a journal of al...sometimes I wish I would have kept a journal of all the quilts I have made, most I have donated to a charity (multiply charities) few I have given away. <br />I don't keep track of my fabric but I have a pretty good memory of fabrics I have when I am looking for a certain color or print (say I need a large scale print or a tiny print fabrics will come to mind and I go looking for them!)<br />Kathie antique quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379983489980682690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-15368170177597736382013-03-14T23:08:45.762-07:002013-03-14T23:08:45.762-07:00Oh!

I take a photo of a finished quilt, cut scraps of the main farics and 'place' them in the next page with only the year marked on the back of the photo. My journal is bulging and I really need to stick the photos and scraps down and write a bit about each one. Someday!Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896742507330800956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-57940640476341447862013-03-14T22:28:49.406-07:002013-03-14T22:28:49.406-07:00I've managed to get pictures of most of my qui...I've managed to get pictures of most of my quilts. My quilt spreadsheet has a lot of information in it. There are also several spiral notebooks floating around with notes where I was working on designs, but it's my blog where the information is on my quilts. I'm trying to go back and add quilts that I did before I blogged, and have a few to go. The best journaling I've seen is done by Teresa who blogs at fabrictherapy.blogspot.com. She did a post about her quilt journal on 2/18/2011. I typed in 'journal' in her search box and found the entry.<br />Pam in KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511327421280164296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109774646057111207.post-50653579844339644842013-03-14T21:33:04.980-07:002013-03-14T21:33:04.980-07:00Love the second quilt-looks modern-like a simple s...Love the second quilt-looks modern-like a simple statement.
