Ha. I have to disapoint you on this score. If years of trying has not worked to get me into quilting, nothing will. I've seen the Japanese stuff, I like how they did sashiko and the quilting for the firemen's coats. I like the traditional cottons and linens and prints here.
And yet...
My mom brought me to an art quilt show with the same thought - 'Aren't these beautiful? wouldn't you like to do it? It's not just all blocks and squares!'
I admired them politely, but without the smallest scrap of desire to do them myself. Totally uninspired.
It's not my bag. I am a lost cause to the world of quilting, and this is fine. Lots of other people can take up the gap for me.
I may make another winter coat. I have one in mind based on a piece in the Victoria and Albert museum, a Victorian one with lovely military style frogging.
