I had so much fun making this! I had thought about it for
Edit: I was asked what my inspiration was for this piece, and I have to say there was no one single thing. I've been greatly admiring some of Melody Johnson's work for a while, and that had a strong influence on the idea I wanted to communicate. As well, I took a workshop with Judy Farrow a couple of years back and just love the freeform curved piecing that she taught us. Add to that a class with Bonnie Hwang, doing free form leaves - which is what I just recently used to make my leaf place mats - put them together, along with my love of red and neutrals, and there you have it! Lucky for me that in the making of this piece, I still have two of the red on white backgrounds and 4 white on red background curved pieces, and I'll be having more fun soon!
Well, if that wasn't enough excitement, I received my quilt from Tina today, too! Check it out!

What an unusual, intriguing design. It is quirky, cheery and so neatly assembled. I am impressed!! What was your inspiration?
All three are great. I love how yours is so unusual. And the red and grey look so good together.
Lovely mini quilts, made and received. I’m in awe over yours! I admire Melody‘s work too. I love her use of colours and shapes.
Wow! Your red and grey is just fantastic.It has so much texture and movement and I keep seeing new things.
I like the one you got too. Great pops of color.
The third little quilt is so sweet. Looks like you got lots of other goodies too. It really was a good mail week.
I absolutely love your swap quilt. You did a marvelous job!
Your little quilt is wonderful. Havnt you been a lucky one with all those goodies :)
I love your mini-quiilt, and that is one of my favorite color palettes. The more I look, the more I see--
I love your little quilt. So creative. Awesome design!
What an awesome Mini QT swap you had on both sides - your quilt is stunning (as always, your creative quilting takes everything to a whole other level of awesomeness!) and the one you received is gorgeous, too!!
I do like your abstract design and the irregular shape is great. I would love to be able to design abstract things like this. You have had a good week, obviously, but you always seem to be busy at something, so no wonder it all comes back to you
your design skills continue to impress and fascinate me - you did a magnificent job on that little gray/red circles etc... I'm inspired to try those split leaves! Wonderful!!!
What a great week for you. I love your red and grey quilt, it looks very sophisticated.
A great design you have made - just love it - all the details is doing your quilt.
OOOOOOH Janet! I love how you finished the curves quilt! I love that dark grey border and the red buttons!!!
