Favorites from #30DaysofQuiltDesign
There are about two weeks left in our Instagram challenge 30 Days of Quilt Design. Some of you have already finished, which is exciting to see! Myself, I've slowed down progress and am only making a few designs per week. I'll be sure to finish by the end of October though. I've already found that having a book full of sketched designs is a nice way to live. Probably after baby comes I'll have a little less energy to think of new ideas. Working up designs I've already sketched will come in handy!
My favorite personal design from the past two weeks is called Tower Window. I keep seeing this pattern in castle window glass. Even though it's far from original, I wanted to save the concept into my quilt book. It actually reminds me of my Cascade quilt pattern simplified. I'm imagining a combo of prints and solids.
Each day I enjoy when the designs you submit pop up on my phone! Whether simple or complex, it makes me smile to see so many creative thoughts put to paper. Here are a few of my favorites from the past two weeks. All shared with permission:
