Sew Thinky Thursday...already?

Emily at  Mommy's Nap Time  has this weeks question up and ready.  First I can't believe it is Thursday and almost the end of the month..wow! Okay the Question for today :  If you were a quilt block which one would you be? Yikes! I have no idea. I have been getting back into quilting only recently. So I am not sure what it is or what represents me the most...yet! I plan on trying many many things. I know some people know exactly what they like and they do it and do it often and are successful. I want to try it all and then weed out what I enjoy. With that said...recently I tried pieced circles. So fun.  They turned out great and I loved doing them.  I think that I am more than that though. I love scrappy piecing right now too.  This is a charity quilt I made from scraps I made into a disappearing nine patch. I love the randomness of it.  And not so random but the precise work involved in piecing this Burgoyne Surrounded that my mother and I worked on last sprin

 Today's question from Emily at  Mommy's Nap Time What is your favorite Kona cotton or other fabric you run out of all the time? Lately it seems to be Kona Charcoal.    I also like Kona  But I love color so go figure?? I think it would be fun to make my own color palette  to have all the time. I get scared when I think I want a whole bolt of something. ha WIP right now has some of my Kona Coal that I love.  This is one of my blocks from the  Skill builder BOM I have branched out and made a few other color quilts but I do love a bit of black in most things in and out of quilting.  I think the grays and the blacks really show off your work.  This is a journey and my color favs come and go but I think these three will stay with me for a while.

 Sew Thinky Thursday again! Emily has a new question. Don't forget to check out her blog  Mommy's Nap Time  to see her adventures at Quiltcon!!! Here's our question for this week: Tell us about your sewing friends. Have your fabric tastes changed by having friends who like to sew? Do you like the same things or are you completely opposite? I think my fabric taste changes just about every day. I have favorites and if I pile all my fabric in one place I would see that I have way more of some colors than another but I feel like a seed in a giant seed pod. I have been starting to stretch and grow in several directions. I have always liked crafty things and dabbling in this and that. I am sure you have heard the saying "jack of all trades but master of none" ...that is me.  I love being around all the new blogging friends since I started my blog. I feel everyday is a learning experience.  I see a quilt-a-long and I want to do that but before the minut
