Where to begin ⦠When I start a quilt, I think about the recipient(s)⦠this helps with color and meaningful motifs. In this case, the center features a Dahlia flower which represents joy, hope, celebration, strength, ⦠encircled by a self drafted DNA inspired border. There are mountain ranges and other hidden motifs. There is space to rest in between⦠Then I color my sketches and start drafting pattern pieces⦠all this before I ever touch the fabrics⦠Such an exciting start to the process.
