Intuition Quilt, Day One

Victoria at Bumble Beans Inc issued a Intuition Quilt challenge at 15 minutes play to make a top purely by intuition. You all know how I love a good challenge, and this would be right up my alley. I work intuitively all the time so it will be interesting to follow my own process while documenting it. I have a feeling that trying to describe all the Whys will be a bit challenging though.

The first step was going through this bursting shoe (boots??) box of scrapspicking a few fabrics for a starter kit. That’s not really true; I first had to find the box which had been cleared away for the holidays. I hate when that happens. Anyway; I quickly picked lots of scraps including a self made fabric which has been waiting around for years and hope to get started puzzling them together tomorrow.

Daughter has wished for a new bright wall hanging for her birthday later this month, so I’d better get moving. Maybe I’ll have to do this as a Finish It! project to have half a chance to make it in time. However, I could give her a quilt top with a promise to finish it soon; I do know she does not want another hat...

    I know just what you mean about finding the box first. Clean up too much and you can't find anything. Good luck with the challenge. xox Corrine

    This is totally off-subject...but can you tell me how you say your name? Is Moen pronounced "Moan" or 'Moon" or "Moe-en" or is it something else completely? Thanks!

    I'm not that intuitive, so I'm going with a nine patch challenge mentioned on Loft Creations... the quilt will go to Project Linus, a charity that gives quilts to kids in crisis. Good Luck with your challenge. I can't wait to see it!

    What a fun idea.
    You are amazing with all the creating you do.
    I feel like I am one hundred steps behind you!

    I also sew blankets for Project Linus.
