The inspiration for all this, of course, came from Jolene @blueelephantstitches. I'm a long-time follower of her blog & insta. Like many, I love her delightful vintage looking quilts and how she mixes her fabric. I have both her quilting books now, less of a 'how to' but rather more about Jolene's reflections on fabric choice & design, I dip back in for inspiration all the time.
Everyone’s stash is so different, and even while using someone's pattern/concept/photo, I figure it's so easy to change up & personalise the look of your quilt! My focus will be to try and capture some of Jolene's vintage ‘vibe’ and yet still be reflective of my stash here.
