This is the start of my journal quilts 2010:
This year the size is 7" x 10" (18cm x 26cm) and portrait only.
I have cut 12 pieces each of white and black fabrics and wadding, all a good inch larger all the way around. I intend to use a different technique each month. Anyway, that's the intention for now.
This is my inspiration for the colour scheme: Black, white and a bit of red.
Let the fun begin!
Update on my previous post: I have made this post in Firefox and the new Update Editor and cross my fingers that everything will look right once I hit the 'Publish Post" bottom.
(Update on this post: It does more or less, but when I choose 'normal' for the letters, they come out smaller than in my previous posts, if I choose 'large' they come out much larger that before, but at least I don't have the funny large spaces between paragraphs. FYI, the headline is written in 'large' and the rest in 'normal' - I would really like something in between.......Oh, and when I look at the post in Firefox, the four fashion shots are on top of each other - in Safari the two top ones is side by side?? Ah, the mysteries of IT.)

PS. I can't find the spell check in this new Update Editor?

How wonderfully organised this looks!
i like the idea of exploring a color palette over a year.
Thanks Linda and Karoda, it keeps me sane. I did more or less the same thing last year, having made all the backgrounds in January. The years I had to start from scratch each month, I very nearly dropped out..........!
Great to hear from you both :D
You choice of colour is stunning! The red is yummy. looking forward to seeing the journals. Last years journals I just love!

The colours had been lurking in my mind for some time, so when I looked through the newest copy of Good Housekeeping - I just couldn't believe my eyes............
My red is more like an orange-red!
It looks very good, however you did it!
In Firefox, as I look at this this very moment, the two top fashion pix are side by side....
I quickly - immediately! - gave up on the new editor - I'm used to using the old one (in Firefox) and even in Safari the new one was a headache, as you have described.
looking forward to seeing this year's journal quilts!

Thanks everyone - I too am looking forward to see them ;O)
Great colour scheme - simple and spophisticated.
This looks like the beginning of something wonderful ... I cant wait to see what develops.
Glad the posting is a wee bit easier too!
Thanks both, I'am having trouble with fabric paint at the moment!
