    I just recently discovered this blog and I'm completely hooked! My goal is to make a sample page of each of these designs, but I doubt I'll ever catch up. The Alien Fingers makes me think of seaweed, so there is another tought. Also a few areas made me think of the outline of leaves, such as Sassafrass (sp?) Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us and it really helps to see the inspiration and how you come up with the ideas. Thanks again! Debby also from NC, over in Mooresville.

    WOW how are you holding up – 75 down and only 290 days to go – this is some task / challenge you've taken on here – what about some tessellating shapes – I saw a saddle numah stitched with a horse quilting stitch, it was fantastic but there are other simpler shapes

  3. Leah Day says:

    Great ideas Deb! I'll have to try this with fern filler and see what happens.

    Ethne – Yeah, things are starting to catch up with me. I'm going to be taking a break after day 100, but still posting daily on how to use the filler designs in your actual quilts!

    Tessellations are wonderful! I'll have to play with some ideas and see what happens this week.

    Now let's go quilt!

    I am really enjoying watching the designs you create. I just wrote about your blog and linked to you on my blog. I hope that was OK? Guess I should have asked first. Thank you for all of the inspiration!

    Janet – That's perfectly fine! The more links the better!

    I'll make sure to share your blog with my readers this week.

    Thanks for spreading the word!

    I am really intrigued with this design. It reminds me of the Cuna Indian Molas.
