I started the thread about the ugly quilts in National Magazines and then got curious about where others find their inspiration for their quilts... I decided to repost AS a new question. I hope others will share their thoughts and comments.
Since I find the quilting magazines have become kind of boring
my newest project is making the blocks from Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Patch Blocks. I have EQ Block base that I use to draft the patterns. I have been looking for some of the older more dated, rarely made blocks that would look good as a stand alone block.
I make my blocks scrappy from left over fabric in my stash from other projects. I group them into THEMED sampler blocks in that all the brights go in one box --- all the dark traditional, male colors will go in another box.... etc.
I am having the fun of challenging my quilting skills and I plan to end up with some finished quilts.
