One of the best parts of belonging to a quilt group (or several quilt groups) is the opportunity to share ideas. Sometimes that sharing is in the form of collaboration on a project, even if the actual work takes place in pieces. I wanted to give a quilt to a friend, but was crunched for time. One of my quilting buddies, Lori Vogel, shared a top with me. I finished the project on deadline, and everyone is happy. I also got a chance to see how Lori approaches quilt design and color use, which helps me learn and grow as a quilt artist. Surround yourself with other artists, and take every opportunity to collaborate. You’ll thank me later.
Luck and wisdom!

I love this idea of sharing and drawing inspiration and knowledge from other quilters. The quilt is lovely and has a very tribal feel to the design.
