Coolest Quilt Ever

So I actually got my graph paper out for this one!  I saw this picture by Laura Taylor (who by the way is brilliant, heard about on Creature Comforts):

I love the old-fashioned calico prints on the big block background.  The white squares and blasts of bright colored squares are perfection!  I even like the worn out rips.  I'm mooning over this one.  Oh yeah and it's all on point, so it has that great diamond effect.  sigh.

The Sketchbook Project 2011

I signed up for the Sketchbook Project 2011 and received my black cover moleskin about two weeks ago. To be involved in a touring art show, well, it thrills me to no end.

The category I chose is "Happy Thoughts" which got my mind churning with ideas. I was even thinking of doing a "pre" sketchbook to warm up with, but I think that would sort of ruin the thing.

So this is page one. I'm excited to see where this goes!
