This post is for my MT swap partner so that she may have some idea what I like in quilts and design.

Basically, I like clean, symmetrical lines and clear, un-muddied colours. Think IKEA vs picasso. My first quilt top is basically like that.

I also love scrappy charm quilts in all those fabulous new modern quilt lines that have been coming out lately. My favorite blocks include: straight up nine & four patch, bento box, chinese coins, to start.

Currently, my favorite colours are lime green (spanning from the rind of the lime to the flesh), sky blues, turquoise, brown, white, and black. I’m starting to get into yellows and oranges, but I usually say if you can find it in nature (or the back yard) I like it.

I live in a dove grey house with white trim and lots of dandelions. :P
