Directionally Challenged by Patricia Caldwell, 40" x 50" Patricia Caldwell is back this week with new inspiration for us. This is an original design. Here's what she shared about the inspiration for this fun quilt: I got lost the other day when my GPS decided to stop working. I have always been directionally challenged and thought why not show lines and circles within a quilt that have no direction. This is how I feel when I have no idea of where I am going but I always end up where I am suppose to be while seeing places I never would have saw if I had my GPS.  Directionally Challenged by Patricia Caldwell, detail She used Color Wheel Shades Packs in this quilt.

Seahorse pillow cover by Ann Jensen Ann Jensen is back this week with another of her Hawaii-inspired pillow covers. Each pillow cover is hand appliqued with batiks and gradients on a gradient background. She is masterful at fussy cutting the gradients to get just the effect that she wants. I believe that she used the Oasis Gradient in this one.

Blue Ridge Heron by Susan Price, 18" x 18" This week's inspiration comes to us from Susan Price. This quilt was made for a SAQA Regional Exhibit called Reflections - representing some aspect of the Virginia/North Carolina Region. (SAQA = Studio Art Quilt Associates) It is based on a composite of 2 photos taken at the Peaks of Otter Lodge on the Blue Ridge Parkway. She said that the shibori fabric was perfect for making the feathery grasses along the bank of the lake. She started with a solid piece and cut away at the stripes till she was satisfied with the result.  She even included a photo of the original fabric so we could see how she cut it for her grass element.
