I haven't started a rhapsody yet but my convergences do that all the time. I started one in Ricky's class in Minnesota last summer and was so sure the fabric was right and it would be great. Then I put the first part on the design wall with the "right side" up. It sort of looked at me funny and said what in the world are you thinking? Well right then I knew I had a problem and it wouldn't be happy until I did something else. so I looked at it from every angle possible and realized I had green grass (sort of ) on one side and blue sky (also sort of ) on the other in vertical orientation, so by setting it on point the sky was up and the grass was down and the flowers suddenly made sense. When I got it home from class it also yelled out for texture so I am stilll in process of doing mock trapunto with each of the flowers. It has gotten relegated to a back burner due to other projects but the flowers are starting to yell for the light of day so it will come out soon. (needless to say my family thinks I belong in the loony bin when I say my quilt tells me what it wants to be but they do and that is only one of many who talk and sometimes shout to me to say what they should be)
Listen to that Rhapsody because if you don't there will always be a little voice nagging at you saying I told you not to make me this way!!!!
Good Luck Ann

Judy, I certainly know what you mean about your planned out quilt not working!!!!!!!!!When I started my Rhapsody quilt in Ricky's class this past summer, I was the Queen of the planning it out in the months before I went to class. I had every piece of fabric folded perfect and every piece planned out just so so.......well, when I started putting those pieces on that design wall, it was very dark and lifeless. (I decided to use those words instead of ugly). When I went to bed the night after the second day of class, I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw all those pieces I had tried that didn't work. When I got to class the third day, I thought of using a different color for the center that I had not tried before and all of a sudden, it made sense....from then on, it became something I was pleased with and I never changed my mind again.
I think my greatest obstacle in this whole process is being patient and listening to my heart about which color is right. I've only had a few minutes each day for the past three weeks to work on my two new quilt projects......and by yesterday, I had fabric slung all over this room. So tonight, I had several hours in here and I folded it all and put it away. Now, I will put the patterns on the design wall and wait........(I do hope I don't have to wait too long though :roll:) So Judy, now you know, you're not alone......

Originally posted by dogquilterI have been working on my Rhapsody. I can't believe this, I had a specific design in mind. The whole quilt was created in my mind down to the smallest detail. Then I put the design on my design wall. I yelled at me, NO I am not that quilt. I want to be something else. I have since recreated another skeleton, but I can't move on until this other quilt is done talking to me.
Have you had a rhapsody that decided to be something other than you planned for it to be?

Thanks for all the encouraging words. My design is still on the wall, and I really love what it wants to be. Where I live is known as the Valley of Flowers. We have an annual Flower Festival. I didn't ever intend for my skeleton to look like a flower, but once all the colors were placed that's what YELLED at me. I am now figuring out what type of appliqué work this quilt wants to own.
This is such an empowering process, releasing your creativity from within your soul.

Hanne-Grete, you make me laugh!
:lol: I know what you mean about not wanting to give up your quilt until you die, though. But what a beautiful legacy to leave to your kids. You do realize, don't you, that in planning your future you're also going to have to make one for each of your future grandchildren... each of your great-grandchildren... Looks like you have lots of work to do! Fun!

My kids are real bright ( hmmm...they must have that from my grand dad :wink: ) so i guess they will realize that the rhapsodies have 4 similar parts, so GK can have 1/4 of the rhapsody..GGK can have 1/8...and in the end someone is sitting with 1 stitch or 2 :lol: :lol:

Hanne-Grete, you're too funny! :lol: :lol: Reminds me of my Italian grandmother's 'board' (a solid piece of wood that was HER mother's that was used to make pasta and polenta). We all wanted that board and figured we'd have to cut it up and divide it... and eventually, we joked, our great-great-great grandkids would have earrings made out of 'the board'. Sadly, 'the board' was lost and no one has it now, but I still laugh at the thought of those earrings... AND I tell my kids the story so 'the board' will live on...
Hopefully, those left with that final stitch or 2 of your Rhapsody quilt will be told the story of the love and laughter that went into it in the first place.

spitfire the story of your board makes me sad -- I know that is not the intent but it reminds me of treasures that our family had that were stolen because the person who owned them and needed nursing home care forbade his children to remove them from the house. So they neatly packed them all in boxes, labeled them and put them in an upstairs back closet just waiting for the robbers to come in and quickly remove them because they were conveniently packed and labeled.
The quilt in my profile called Remembering Aunt Cora is a tribute to my wonderful aunt and her beautiful treasures that were stolen. I have given those quilts (I have done three) to her grandchildren but kept one for me so the three of us can over the years share in our memories and honor that wonderful lady.
so think about it maybe there is a way you can honor the "board" and your memories for all of your family to share. Maybe a series of small wall hangings with the board in a picture so all can see that special memory

Sorry, Ann, didn't mean to make you sad, but it is unfortunate when things like this happen. Your story makes me sadder - mine was just a board. Sounds like you lost a lot more than that. I love your quilt, though. What a great way to help your family remember. (Plus, I just love tea pots and tea cups even though I don't really drink tea. I have a set of heart shaped cups that I adore beyond reason...) I had never thought of making a quilt honoring 'the board', but it's a neat idea. I do occasionally make homemade pasta, so a kitchen wallhanging featuring pasta and the board would actually be a nice touch. Since this is the Rhapsody forum, maybe I should make a Rhapsody quilt with pasta winding around as the applique :lol: . I'll have to work that one out in my head a little longer...

Tina I recently got some "Pasta" printed fabric from hancock's of paduca-- It's just a few different pasta shapes scattered on a white background... don't know how I'll use it yet, but my twins LIVE on pasta so I couldn't resist. It was on sale but they might still have some...
