Renewed interest

You might guess from my blog name of quilted cavalier that I have an interest in quilting. For sure I was quilting crazed several years back... However I grew bored with it as I'm not a cutesy quilter. The art quilt movement is what drew me to mixed media. But with my recent interest in Zakka craft I found out about a whole new movement in quilting called Modern Quilting. One of the basis of this movement is improvising - something I've always done when quilting. I cannot follow a pattern - I have to make everything my own. Here are a few relevant blogs that capture the modern quilting spirit beautifully.

I love homemade quilts! I'd never have the patience to make one, though. Ha!
