I’m REALLY happy with this quilt!  Especially the color scheme, which was new to me.  And, it went together easily, since I let the initial hand dyed fabric (center) give me lots of cues.  I selected the name, Initial Response, mostly because I liked the sound of it and the idea of it.  Then, I realized that it eluded to my process, as well.  I like that.

I’ve written lots about my process in making this quilt. If you scroll back to January 14th, 2018 you’ll see the first post and you can read forward for the full story.

I’m looking forward to using the rest of that special fabric.  Hmm, what shall I do with it?
