I think I would have to be a quilt of irregular shapes and rich, sumptuous fabrics so jewel paisley in velvets and silks. I guess that only leads to a traditional crazy patchwork.

I'd have a little elegant embellishment and be quilted in a way that you would have to be patient to see the pattern but find it quite soothing and rhythmical under all those any which way patches.

Love me or hate me, I'd be the thing that catches your eye and you'd just have to stroke to feel those fabrics!

Ooh! Sounds so magnificent I think you should make one and call it "Self Portrait".

Sounds like a crazy quilt to me!

Sewdreamy OFFLINE Posts: 2009 Thank you received: 160	I'd be a very untraditional, probably not semetric in anyway mystery quilt, and with a thick batting all bumpy and thumpy. (what a great question)...and I agree about the general assessment of Ritzy. Margo would be an elegant fabulously quilted traditional quilt with just a twist of contemporary flavor and very warm and one of a kind. cheers, BJ

NancyinSTL OFFLINE Posts: 729 Thank you received: 34	I've given this question a lot of thought and am not sure that I'd want to share my thoughts. However, it would be an interesting project for a quilter to produce the quilt that most represents him/herself.

Hmm, I think I would definitely be made of bright colors that are very deep in their hues. I would definitely be a comfort quilt and not very wide but long with sharp angles in the quilting. I would be well used and soft.

It would be interesting to see what those who have met us would think about what kind of quilt we would be. Margo, Dana, Maggie or Bridget could probably answer better for me.

I think Ritzy would have to be a HUGE quilt because she wraps her comforting arms around so many with her heartfelt prayers. Her backing would be flannel or minkee.

LadyRags OFFLINE Posts: 1571 Thank you received: 43	My colors would be bright and loud............but pure.... red / yellow / purple/ blues and greens.... ... probably King sized with double batting... I guess I would be utilitarian .... with swirling curving pattern... not square or rectangular pattern.... patterns original and slightly wacky.... that would be me. Lady Rags
