Stand Alone

I do a bunch of Stand Alone fabrics which in the industry sometimes has difficulty when there is a coordinated sentiment from our clientele.  I feel a need to discuss and certainly in no way apologize for the way I design.  Believe me I love when things come together and things all coordinate but its not what I'm called to do.  I try and try to make it all match but sometimes the blue in one fabric has no meaning for me in another and I am not at peace.  For awhile I thought oh you are just making it up because you don't have the skill to make it all work together but that's not true.  If I could do one fabric and introduce it in a million stand alone color ways I would but they don't make for great quilts I'm afraid.   Sometimes I look at the quilts of our ancestors mostly patchwork made from all different categories of fabric and I am moved to tears nothing matches and could be construed as irreverent but they  are so innocent and ill conceived that in their naive way they are beautiful. I go on ebay just to look at the mismatched patchworks!!..I love and respect all my designer friends who have the gift to make it all work together.  There is such a huge resource of talent and certainly something for everyone.  But if for any reason the greens don't go together understand its my intention and in their irregularity for whatever reason is my brilliance appearing insane. I think Sis Boom fabrics all work together in their islandy appeal and if you like them they will all work for you. just needed to talk out  loud!  Thanks for listening.
