I am asking please for more stacked squares blocks. Here are the details: 1. the tutorial can be found here: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2013/06/simply-style-stacked-squares-quilt.html 2. The colors I would like are warm colors from Red to Green. If you look at this link, you will see the warms that i would like. While my picture below of blocks recieved has purple and some light/white parts, I would prefer to not have those in the block from you. So, please use Red, Orange, Yellow and/or a Warm green (brown is okay too). If you are not sure... please feel free to email/message me! 3. DO NOT CUT the block into 4 parts. I prefer that you sew the center, and 2 outsides, and then stop. As this is taking time to accumulate, i dont want the fabric unraveling. Here is what i have done so far...... https://flic.kr/p/qAZjeU" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/p/qAZjeU

While I appreciate some of the traditional quilting styles, I have gotten bored with them. I like to daydream about trying all the great new projects I see on the internet, but mostly end up getting overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. So I think that getting to meet other quilters that are working on the same kind of projects will help me focus and be more inspired.

I played with quilting when I was a teenager and young adult. When my children were born I made little baby quilts, but I really started to quilt in earnest when my passion for painting began to wane. I seemed too busy to get the paints out and get something done, but the quilting could stay in progress. I kept working on pieces and found that I liked it so much better than any form of artistic expression. Now, when people ask me what I do I always say, I am a quilter.
When I'm not quilting, I like to:
I keep in touch with my friends through Instagram. ladyrosien is the name I use on Instagram. I spend time seriously writing when on vacation in the summer. Like my quilts, my novels are WIPs that I hope will not become UFOs. I enjoy shopping for interesting things to decorate my house and I love to cook. I get tired of same old same old so I often am trying to create something new to entertain my heart.

When we moved to Colorado I left a lifetime of family and friends In California. My quilting buddies were so far away. I wanted to become acquainted with people who live near enough to share time and ideas in person. The FRMQG has really met that need. I am so stoked to find a group of people who are not conventional quilters. I like to do different things and not feel as though I didn't do it "right" because I approached it in a non-traditional manner.
