When you come to my studio don't be surprised if you see a lot of notebooks with sketches drawn on them. I am always sketching something. When I design a quilt the inspiration comes from many things; the fabric, windows, floors, trees, flowers, carpet, doors, clothing, bags, roads. Yes, I find inspiration everywhere.
When I designed Flower Pops I was inspired by the fabric. I felt like the fabric was very modern with a funky twist. So I immediately began sketching. After I have a rough draft on paper I generally head to my computer and draw the actual quilt in EQ7. Next, sewing, usually I will make all of my blocks, lay it out on the floor and then change my mind.
This was my original sketch for Flower Pops.
Yes, it changed a lot. I'm glad it did because I love it now!
