Finished: Summer 2008 Pickle Mystery Quilt

I finished this quilt a few days ago. I have not been able to get my creative juices flowing since before this quilt was done. Anyway, though I have hit a creative roadblock for the time being, at least I can share the completion of this huge quilt!
The bed it is on, is a California King sized bed. I quilted it with my new-to-me table top frame and short-arm machine. I learned so much with this project!
I am actually surprised that the colors worked out as well as they did. I was afraid I had too much contrast or too many medium colors for the "lights" in this quilt. I am glad I was wrong about that!
Here it is turned the other way on the bed. I sure used up a lot of fabric scraps on this project!
I hope my creative juices start up again soon. I have so many things I would like to start, but just haven't been feeling in the mood. And fabric therapy has always been good for me. I wish I knew what was wrong? It could be a number of different things. Maybe when I have those two days off over Easter Sunday, I will have time to work in the studio and have the fabric therapy do its magic to me. :)

In the mean time, I do continue to work on the hexagon flowers. They are such a tiny part of my life right now, but oh so easy to pickup and do a few stitches at a time!!! For now, I think the hexagons are the only fabric therapy that works! Thank goodness for hexagons! lol :)

It's fantastic! You do know of course when your quilting inspiration comes back, you'll probably get too many ideas at once!
