Thinking outside the box - Part 2

I joined a zoom call early this year, we were 12 ladies from different parts of Britany (a western region of France on the Atlantic ocean), the subject of the meeting was talking about a 2021 Inspirational Board of what we hoped for our self during this new year:

the way to do this is to imagine what we wanted in our personal life and/or business life and make it visual either by using words, images, painting, writing, collage, anything that we wanted to express our desires for this coming year.

The exchange was amazing and each could relate to a piece or section on some else's board, whether it was the use of a word, the description of a way to escape, the expression of a dream, or just a thought such as "THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX" which is the one that I most related to during that event.

I always think outside the box, maybe too much sometimes, that people don't understand what I am doing or why I am doing it that way.

For the past five years, my way of thinking outside the box has been NOT to provide quilt patterns, but to give the techniques on how to create one's own patterns, and I am not sure that it is neither what is wanted nor needed in the Quilt World right now.

From the absence of followers on this path of mine, I believe that what I am providing is way too much outside the box, but you know what, I AM NOT GOING BACK IN THE BOX, I am staying outside that box.

Inside the box it is crowded by hundreds of designers that provide patterns, and outside the box is empty, but that is ok, I'll just wait until somebody is curious enough to come have a look on what I am doing outside that box, curious enough to go through all the techniques that I have put together to create amazing quilts, for which you won't have just changed the fabric colors but have designed it completely.

If you want to tell the story of your quilt, I have a document for you to write all about your making of your quilt.
