I am really enjoying the Sew Thinky Thursdays with Emily!
Her questions have made me think so far, and I'm looking forward to a lot more thinking and soul searching with her...
Today's question is:
Describe your quilting style. Who or what influences you? How do you see your style changing over time?

Part 1 : What is my quilting style?
If I have to sum up my style in one word, it has to be
Daring!
Yup. Why? Because I dare! I look at something I like and I want to make something similar - I DARE! Even if that means putting together thousands of pieces! I DARE! Even if it means testing my limits as a quilter, I DARE! Even if it means agonizing over why I started that stupid quilt in the first place, I DARE!
And in the end, I think even though my UFOs have taken up a lot of space in my cupboard, I'm happy to have attempted them! I am happy that I DARED! I am happy that I now know what I cannot do / am not comfortable doing (Matching corners surely is one of them - that is why I have 84 HSTs waiting to be trimmed and squared in the UFO shelf!)
here's what my Facebook Friends had to say about my style :
Emily thinks its Fabulous!
Sunita say's its Fresh!!
Kelly thinks its Modern!!!
And Suzanne thinks its Innovative!!!!
:)
I'm happy to have friends who respond within seconds to my post to help me think!
Part 2 : Who or what influences me?
Anything and Everything! Absolutely! I find my inspirations anywhere...
In fabrics and pictures, in poems and phrases, inside books as well as on their covers... In people and relations! Online and offline too!!!
:)
Part 3 : How do I see my style changing over time?
I do realize I have come a long way from my first quilts
to today...
But that is only because I have dared more an more difficult (to me) stuff!
I so look forward to dare some more!!!
