I personally ...Your color combinations are amazing. I personally think picking colors for a quilt is the most difficult part of the process and it's what most people struggle with. I find your color choices very uplifting. Can brighten up a dull day. As a novice quilter I draw inspiration from just the pictures to help me pick a good color palette. I would be more interested in how you put the colors together.Rachelhttp://liketosew.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-88881800362534877612011-10-28T20:56:39.048-07:002011-10-28T20:56:39.048-07:00As a new quilter, I love all the eye candy.

Also, for a beginner, I'd like to know how much time is spent from start to finish to complete the quilt or top. Of course, favourite recipes are nice too. Tips to get dinner on the table fast so that the dinner table can be cleared and set up for quilting. :)Nancy Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674128499380035314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-26734844742734581262011-10-14T15:49:17.483-07:002011-10-14T15:49:17.483-07:00Not that my answer may matter much but I like read...Not that my answer may matter much but I like reading the blogs that have a healthy mix of it all.<br /><br />I also LOVE when the blogger is really themself. It makes or breaks a blog really. So think about all of the things you posted.... It would be nice to see a little bit of all of it.<br /><br />Lots of pictures. Maybe atleast one for every post. Even if it is just of your everyday life. It shows us that you a real human at the other end of the writing. <br /><br />Be sure to explain the picture. If it's your favorite recipe please share it. If it is a WIP or UFO tell us a little about it. If it is a finished project maybe tell us how you came up with the idea and how well it worked out from beginning to end. If it is of your kids help us capture the fun of the moment. If it is something that was super hard to make give us some tips and tricks or a step by step through the hard stuff.<br /><br />If you read about or see any new cool stuff tell us about it and where you found it.<br /><br />The reason we love blogs is because we love the personality that the writer brings forth. Sit back relax and do what comes natural to you!April Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117634186479082295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-76227814687054339532011-10-04T21:12:25.114-07:002011-10-04T21:12:25.114-07:00I agree with Citric Sugar too.

I love your use of colour and fabrics, your designs, the quilting you've chosen to do, etc. These are the things I like to read about on quilting blogs: your inspiration, the process, the final quilt. I also appreciate tutorials and tips (e.g. links to a tutorial you used, a mention of a book where you found a pattern, your experience using a new quilting/sewing technique or tool). I prefer quilting blogs that do not include family or other non-quilting related content. <br /><br />I am a central Alberta girl who now lives far, far away so it was great to find your blog.
