Rosemary, I couldn't agree more about the "listening to what my fabrics say to do" part :!: That's where the brainstorming comes in. :mrgreen: You can have a great design for quilts, wearable art, custom clothing not look good if you don't consider the type of fabric, color, pattern/texture, etc. of the materials you're using and how they all fit together as a whole. 8) Then you can have additional fun adding embellishments of stitchery, beads, trims, etc. Your good point is well taken :!: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So yesterday when I went out the get the mail - I saw a package and I was thinking, what did Kelloggs send my husband. Imagine my surprise when I was it was addressed to me and I recognized the label. I have to say it was very fun opening up and seeing all those HST's I took a pic on my phone and sent to my sister (who is a quilter too) and she calls and asks what the heck was that and I told her (she knew about the exchange). As I was looking at them and where they all came from, I found a couple of my own, which made me laugh and I also found one with my sisters name on one from here in NM which we live. We had a good laugh over that. Now I am looking at several patterns to decide what to do -they are all so beautiful! My thanks to all those that made this possible, I had lots of fun making my HST's to send. You know what was really cool - I also received several HST's from a couple of people in my own hometown, that was too cool!

Hip-Hip-Horray!! my package arrived yesterday afternoon. It was so much fun going through them and seeing where they all came from. This will be an international quilt. Now to decide how to put them all together. Debbie and Clara--I found your blocks mixed in with the rest of the 600++ so have placed them in the Golden ticket envelope with the other "specials". They too will have a place of honor. Thank you both sooooo much for taking on this BIG job. There is a special place in Quilt Heaven for you both. Can't do anything with them for awhile--since we are getting ready to pack up and move back North--boo-hoo--our time in Florida is finished until next winter. Oh well--it just gives us something to look forward to once again.

I came home late last night and did not check my Mail box. I just remembered and went to check, I am so excited, my package had arrived. I love all of the triangles.
Thank you everyone. I am going to put them on my design wall and enjoy them for a couple of weeks before I put them in a quilt. I will send a picture when I get
them on the wall. Thanks for everyones hard work.Comment

I have attached a picture of all the HST's I received in the mail. I put them on my design wall. I love everyone of them and know have to pick the center block color.
Any Ideas ? Can't wait to see everyone's.Comment

Pretty blocks, Teri! I would start by dividing the blocks into two piles: the ones with high contrast (light and dark) and the ones with less contrast (medium and dark).
Then work on choosing colors that are similar in each pile. Lots of options!

I see stars with bright orange or yellow centers. I would also go on a diagonal with light to dark if at all possible.

Just hearing from all of you who've received your triangles has gotten me soooooo excited. I'll probably be waiting by the mailbox when our mail lady comes tomorrow!

Dawn, I really like the way you paired and photographed the signatures to the HSTs. I think that is the way I would like to do mine. Of course, with 280 it should make a good section of the back of the quilt :-) Jackie (aka printmaker)Comment

:shock: :shock: :shock: Debbie, my mind and eyesight are gone temporarily. I spent the entire afternoon in Photoshop and My Profile uploading some of my quilts. But, I finally know how to do both! Now for my profile photo... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Wish I could send some of Oregon's too much rain down to Texas! :cry: :cry: :cry:Comment
