I also stalled out for several weeks on my jubilee quilt. I made the mistake of asking people for advice and there were too many suggestions that it only overwhelmed me. I forced myself to just do it!
So I am, and I hope you like it. And if you don't like it, please don't tell me! lol

This is a perfect "humble quilt", Lori. So sweet--gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I asked for suggestions recently and got more than I ever imagined, I played with the ideas and they sparked new ideas. I ended up doing something that was not anyone's suggestion, specifically, but was generated by a few different ones. You will know when you find the answer you need. : )
I have to say I really like the doll quilt too. It's a good reminder that quilting is all about having fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the doll quilt! Is it vintage or did you make it from repro fabrics? Do your Jubilee your way and it will be great.
ReplyDeleteI like that little doll quilt. I found three more little quilts this morning that I set aside with batting and backing so I am hoping to get those basted later and have some nice hand work that could actually get completed!
ReplyDeleteSorry to break the news Lori, but you ARE a designer! Your creations are wonderful. Doll quilt--case in point! Your medallion quilt round will come to you and it will be delightful!
ReplyDeleteI am a very good copier/changer of those who have gone before me. Give ma a blank page and I'll stare at it all day long! Keep at it, the juices will flow and you will come up with something great!
ReplyDeleteI think you do a fine job of patterns when you do your SALs and your Jubilee quilt was fabulous! But I agree, designing quilts just is not as easy as one would think. Good luck and congratulations to the winners.
ReplyDeleteI love this little quilt! So charming! And I totally know about getting stalled.....my jubilee back is STILL on my design wall....nearly a year now! Cripes! I'm pathetic! lol
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners. I'm sure the maker of the little quilt was trying the best she could, it's adorable. I can just envision some little eight year old working on her first quilt.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we have to quit worrying and figuring and just do SOMETHING or we'll never get finished.
ReplyDeleteWell, you do like humble quilts, so there shouldn't be any criticism if that's the way your border comes out!:) Love your work Lori--I'm sure you'll get a brainstorm soon!
ReplyDeleteI love that little doll quilt... especially the imperfections! So precious!
ReplyDeleteI know that whatever you do will be beautiful. I understand about too much advise.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the lucky winners.
Your Jubilee quilt is wonderful so I know whatever you do on your borders will be great. And you said you didn t want ''help'' or suggestions, BUT if you do need ideas or feedback I am happy to help, if I can...
ReplyDelete[PS the odd little doll quilt is perfect in its imperfection! it is adorable. We can all take note of the charm of crookedness and be inspired...]

There are some great fabrics in that doll quilt!
ReplyDeleteI am sure your quilt will turn out beautifully! The design will pop up when you least expect it!
I certainly understand your struggle with design. Been there, done that. I am sure it will make me happy. Anyone that doesn't, can make their own change if they decide to participate.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the free style piecing on the doll quilt.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll come up with a great border for your medallion quilt.
Can't wait to see the jubilee. I thought it was already done, lol.
okay duh, I see what you were saying, ha ha you jubilee IS done NOW. lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise to see I've won the quilt pin! Here's my email adres
