I’m stuck. In 1968, my family moved from Allentown, PA
to Essex Junction, VT. My dad accepted a
new job with IBM and I was going into my sophomore year of high school. Big changes! But this small town is where I
graduated from high school and met my husband of 45 years. How do I represent
this 1968 village in a quilt?
In rows?
In a circle?
Realistic, primitive,
wonky?
Outside looking in or
inside looking out?
What colors should I
use? For Vermont, should I use fall or
winter colors?
Lots of decisions!
Here are some links to
quilts I found on the internet that have wowed and inspired me. I hope you find some inspiration in these
links as well.

Also search online fabric
stores using keywords such as town, city, village, landscape, farm, beach,
mountains, or lake to see representative fabrics.
Google or check Pinterest
using the same keywords above adding “quilt”. For example, village quilt or
beach quilt.
We are all looking
forward to seeing your challenge creations later this year!
