Welcome to PIW, the week of red and white quilts! I have over 60 quilts on the “red and white” section of my “heart, quilts” board. This is just a small taste. Apologies, I was not able to find information on these last two, but they are too pretty to not include. Of course, choosing …
It’s spring in Louisiana. We have spotted a couple of hummingbirds and see butterflies on almost every walk we take. Meme calls them “flutterflies” everytime she sees one. The butterflies are mulitplies quickly and haven’t even found the wildflower gardens that Richard and Adam planted earlier when things were just beginning to green up. Right …
Lots of insipiration in this post of abstract art and how it can inform modern quilting.
I’ve been thinking of map quilts for a few weeks now. I don’t know what does that….put my mind on a subject. I do know that when that “on a subject” occurs, I am stuck with it for a while. Links to continue your reading and viewing. These map quilts are all on my “maps” …
I got curious a few days ago about what I’ve been pinning lately. Hmm, can you imagine that it’s been mostly modern quilts? Yep! Here are the last ten that I pinned. Of course, there have been many more. After all, it took a few clicks to build “heart, quilts.”
Say hello to Rebecca Budde, one of our new quilty followers, who has a board just for string quilts. Yes, some of these will soon be on my “heart, quilts” board! A surprise for me, this board is almost at 14,000 pins. Though I imagine a few are duplicates. Next, these modern quilts are from …

Tiered trays are all the rage right now, but what do you do when all the cute little Christmas items are put away? Of course, you can always put the tray in with the rest of the Christmas decor. But why? The empty tray could also become a year-round decor addition. To that end, you …
Back in 2016 I wrote a Fleur de Lis SQI post on chevrons. It’s time to update that post. Back then chevrons were just finding their comeback. Although, we don’t call them zig zags any longer. Now, five years later, Pinterest is inundated with chevron pins. Also, I’ve added a chevron section to the “heart, …
Don’t you love blue skies? Who wouldn’t? Firstly, there’s the perfect weather. Secondly, sunshine. Thirdly, stunning shades of blue. Originally I intended the color of blue skies to be the inspiration, so when I discovered these gorgeous peonies in the just-right color, I couldn’t resist. Oh how I wish peonies could survive here! Then these …
