Ideas are brewing !

Wow.........this Spring's Bloggers' Quilt Festival is NO DISAPPOINTMENT, huh? 
I have seen so many quilts that inspire me, some making me long to do one JUST LIKE the one I see !

But, right now, I have just a small piece of my next little quilt in mind.  I don't know what the design of either side will be, but it MUST have a little ruffle like this one has.

Never thought I'd want to make another ruffle on a quilt.  I made this one in 1987 or so, on this little log-cabin sampler quilt.  I didn't care for the making of it, and figured I'd been there, done that, end of story.
But this week, 1 1/2 year-old Autumn Taylor was over and we were playing dolls (hooray, a little girl who still loves dolls !), and when I wrapped her baby in this quilt, the ruffle just made it adorable !   All I've ever done is put the quilt on a table or chair as decoration, but the size and ruffle are perfect for a girly-girl's doll.

So that's my starting point........back to seeking inspiration !  Boy did I pick the wrong time to switch to a slower internet connection. 
Hope you're enjoying the 'show', and thank you  to all of my new followers........hope to have some better posts soon !
