Time for another round of quilts that have caught my eye. Every time I think I’ve come up with a neat idea, I find at least 5 other things that are far more gorgeous than anything I could even produce. Wow.
1) This Leaded Glass quilt by Tracey Jacobsen is stunning. I came across it on Flickr, but it’s apparently also featured in American Quilter magazine this month.
2) Tickle and Hide’s Rising Balloons quilt is so similar to an idea I’ve had in my head for a couple years now to make a quilt based on what the ground looks like from the sky. She modeled this after hot air balloons, but to me it looks like irrigated crop circles as seen from an airplane!
3) This Flowering Snowball mini quilt by Jen Johnston is another prime example of what tends to catch my eye — brightly colored and geometric. I think I need to get into mini quilts — it seems like an awesome way to try a lot of things without having to commit to something large.
4) I followed Sara Lawson’s Tesselation quilt sew-along on her blog. The result is so pretty! (The pattern is by Alison Glass and Nydia Kehnle.)
