First: a huge thank you for all of your comments on the Emmy. You all are the best and It's nice to be able to share some of the non-quilting in my life.
Second: Last night I attended the first ever meeting of the LA Modern Quilt Guild. It was a great meeting full of amazing ladies and I'm so excited to meet like minded quilters in this area. If you live around here (or are willing to drive to LA) check out the guild. It looks to be a guild like no other, in a very good way!
Third: Remember this guy? Probably not because I started it two and a half years ago. The plan was to hand quilt circles all over this mother. I worked on it some, my hand-quilting sucked. It wasn't fun. So it was put away.
Well, two and a half years later I have resurrected this quilt from obscurity. I actually had to search for it when I decided to do this.
The hand-quilting was out. It's not my style and I'm just not interested. So I ripped it all out.
One of the reasons I didn't do this sooner is because I couldn't really think of a style of quilting that would work better than additional bubbles. Which is weird because once I came up with this straight lines idea, I liked it so much better! Maybe that's just my 2009 tastes compared to my 2007 tastes. Perhaps I'm less literal now.
So, if you weren't around back then and you want to read about this quilt's beginnings you can go right ahead!

For some reason I am craving a gumball. Grape, please.
great job!!!!! that quilt is so amazing!
I LOVE this quilt! It is so fun and playful. It was well worth it to get it finished.
So bummed that I missed the meeting last night. Hopefully there will be another one soon!
It was so much fun meeting you at the guild meeting last night!! Can't wait for our next meeting (Janice - Nov. 9th! Come!) and for all that is ahead for the LAMQG!
Wow! I love it :)
Fun bubbles quilt! What a great blast from your past ;-)
Hi Liz, I had a great time chatting with you too! I am also really looking forward to all the sewing we will all be doing together in the future. I LOVE this quilt, so original!! And I like the stripes, they play off the circles really well! The overlapping of the circles is genius.
Oh, it's so cute! Love it. And the lines are the perfect, understated finish.
Loved meeting you last night and now, YOU HAVE TO TEACH ME HOW TO DO CIRCLES. It's on my "want to learn" list. Perhaps a one on one sewing day?
i can't even say how jealous i am about your quilt group....i want to move to la!
Love the circle quilt! I think the vertical line quilting sets off the circles so well.
And, I am just a tiny bit jealous that:
1. I don't live in LA
2. There are no modern quilting guilds around here
Hey, I remember that! It's absolutely excellent.
I'm still just as in love with our Star Wars quilt as day one. You're good.
gorgeous! i love how the stragih lines look with the big bubbles!
it is simply beautiful!
It's awesome! I love the circles, and the randomness. Congrats on getting this off your to-do list.
If rainbows were carbonated and could be poured into a glass, this is what you'd see at the top.
I absolutely love it! (Also jealous. I'm terrified to even think of attempting circles...)
It looks wonderful!! The straight line stitching is a perfect match.
Liz- it is so simple in design that it is just breathtaking. I have the urge to break out my fabric and make something gorgeous now. Great job!
Wow! I dig those crazy circles. I think I need to watch Psycho Beach Party while making one of my own. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
love it
i love this quilt! how fun and fresh...! :)
As strange as it may sound, I have been waiting and waiting for this finished quilt. :) Thank you!!
