Random Quilt Block

I always enjoy looking at quilt blocks. They are either intriguing, inspiring, challenging or just plain enjoyment for my eyes.

This winter has been too long ... at least for me.

I can’t wait for Spring to come because I am aching to start my gardening. This winter has been cold, cold and wet. What would you do if you have to stay indoor most of the time? I don’t mind the cold as long as it is dry and sunny outside. The past few days has been raining a lot. Wet and cold. Cold and wet. Muddy and wet and cold. Yuck!

I have been reading a lot lately and if I keep reading, reading will end up being my full time job. Well ... I have to think of something to do when things like this happening. Did you know that I am still learning to sew a straight lines? Well, I thought I could come up with some random quilt block. I could get some inspiration from those quilting magazines I bought at the Quilt Guild Meeting last week or I can just create one. I have bunch of scrap fabrics and I can use them. Lets see ...

I made one the the one day ... darling hubby said its look like a little bird house. Do you think so?

I made a few more and I am just wondering how am I going to sew them together

Here is another quilt block I made up.

I am sure don’t have a name for it. I decided to sew the leftover fabrics from one of my doll quilt project.

I end up with six blocks. I wonder what it would be like if I made more these blocks and put them together. A lap quilt may be? A throw quilt may be? I am just wondering.

I also made Pumpkin Quilt Block sometimes last year.

I do hope they look like a pumpkin :)

How do people ... I mean those wonderful quilters ... how do they decide what quilt block they are going to make or use for their next quilt?

Do you have any ideas?
