I wonder how well this font color will show up? In case you haven't noticed, I match my font color to the item I'm blogging about. There isn't a color on blogger for this quilt.
This probably should be on my secret blog, but the one for whom I'm making it does not have internet and probably doesn't know I have a blog, so I'm fairly certain it shall remain a surprise.
One night I asked the mother-to-be what type of quilt she'd like me to make her. I usually (ok--never) ask. I just make something and give it. For some odd reason I felt compelled to ask this time. She said something modern (yes, my heart nearly stopped) in bright pinks and bright oranges (yes, the ticker skipped a few at this comment). I tried to act natural, like I made bright pink and orange modern quilts all. the. time. Inside, I was thinking "What in the world? How does one make a modern quilt? Who would want a bright pink and orange quilt?"
Well, I recovered and planned, and here's what I have so far. My intention is to make this random...like pick-up sticks of various widths were dropped onto a white-on-white floor. Here are pictures stick by stick:

This would definitely be out of my comfort zone. When I see the baby quilts young mothers love these days I wonder what happened to the softly colored, sweet things we used to wrap around our babes.
I can relate! I just won Angela Walters quilting book from the Sewcalgal's FMQ monthly drawing! There are a lot of good ideas in it for modern quilts (which I never make), but actually, many of the ideas will work for quilts that I make, such as table runners or maybe even sections of other quilts or an overall design. I will be looking forward to seeing what you do with this one!
