Sometimes we need, or get, a gentle push...
I've had a few pushes over the years.
...there have been many more...and they have taken many shapes and forms.
One recent gentle "push" came in the form of a charm pack of fabric. Fabric I never would have selected myself - fabric I probably would not have known about as it is not carried at the shop where I purchase most of my fabric - fabric that I ended up falling in love with enough to figure out a plan and a pattern... to seek out more charm packs and yardage... and then to create this:
I think you know who you are. Thanks for the push!
to go in a direction we would not have otherwise gone.
to try something outside our comfort zone.
to take a chance.

Dennis R. "pushing" me towards becoming an exchange student by bringing me to an informational meeting with him.
Brother Bill "pushing" me towards trying Indian food that I said I hated by taking me to a restaurant in Hong Kong (loved it!!!)
Jen B. "pushing" me towards joining an online quilting group by giving me a personal invitation.

Your quilt is fantastic! I can't imagine a better use and execution with regard to scale, print, color/value and composition. It's visually interesting and balanced.
Great job!
