Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
This is a quilt top that my SIL is working on. You might notice, especially from the detail (below) that it looks like the mosaic quilting technique of Shannon Williams displayed on Simply Quilts YEARS ago. the patches that my pieces and Shannon’s pieces use are much smaller, but SIL used the leftovers from another quilt and I think this piece is wonderful. The mosaic patches really add a lot of interest to the piecing.

Being a block lover, I have, however, always admired the multitude of different looking blocks. Today I saw a Baby Jane grid of blocks on Twiddledetails blog (http://twiddletails.blogspot.com/) made on her blog and was intrigued. So I went to the blog and was pleased to see that the person running the blog really had good directions and for making the blocks.Do a little exploring and admiring.
I still want to see where I can find that grid although it would look pretty stupid with NO blocks filled in.

As you may have read elsewhere, I found a mosaic maker from Big Huge Labs. This is my first attempt and I am pleased. It works with Flickr, so I did learn a few things. I need to organize my Flickr files better, especially the Favorites is the major one. In the meantime enjoy this mosaic. The upper lefthand corner quilt is from Jan over at Be*Mused blog.
