I've cleared the decks of all other essential and non-essential tasks and chores, and have hunkered down in the studio for the past two days to start a new quilt. I'm having an absolutely wonderful time--there's literally almost nothing I enjoy better than the design process. I've got piles of fabrics, prints up on the design wall, the iron steaming, and the sewing machine humming. Best of all my brain is buzzing--I can see clearly in my mind how it's all going to turn out. The pictures give a hint of one of the prints and a bit of the color palette.

Love the new quilt beginning, such lively fabrics...what kind of plant is that? Looks like Mary Jane....

It's a hardy hibiscus, the kind that has huge blooms in the summer. This variety has "cut-leaf" foliage with a reddish cast, which is why I bought and planted it, and why I made prints from it. You have a vivid imagination!
Can't wait to see how it turns out. The color palette is wonderful.
