Next to nature my second favorite source of inspiration is fabric (well duh…I’m a quilter). When I’m feeling creatively stuck it just takes a trip to my favorite quilt shops (yes I have multiple) to get my creative brain going again. I usually look for a multicolor fabric that really jumps out at me. I once spent a year learning color theory and it was great but I just came right back to my old way of doing things. The funny thing is, sometimes the “gotcha” fabric never makes it into the quilt. In the photo you can see my inspiration fabric for “Bluebird’s Piece O’cake” and most of the fabrics I used but that lovely floral never made it in (I tried..boy, did I try).
So here is my inspiration for the small appliqué wall hanging I am starting. This time that fabric is going to make it in.
