Good Morning, Quilters and Doodlers!
Are you ready for a new prompt? Some of you don’t need a prompt to start doodling, but some people do AND I think the veteran doodlers might enjoy a new direction. The key to doodling is to keep it simple. Start with a simple shape, then just repeat and vary, repeat and vary…
Our simple shape today is The Scallop. It is a classic for quilting, too.
Start with a scallop…it can be deep or shallow, thin or very wide (like bunting). Choose one size and draw several rows.
Add simple echoes on the inside or a radiating embellishment.
Change the scallop line to a row of circles…
Now go a little doodle crazy and see how many different ways you can fill the scallops.
This could take all week…but don’t let it! There’s quilting to be done!
Today’s quilt is The Feathered Leaf Vase quilt.
You can find the Feathered Leaf tutorial HERE.
Stitch the Grid tutorial HERE.
Happy doodles!

PS. Quilt Market is in Minnesota this week! I may post from there…or I might just collect good blog stuff and save it for next week. If you don’t hear from me…I’m on an Inbox (lowercase) jaunt…a fact finding, photo gathering mission for Quilters Everywhere!
