I've been nosing around randomly this morning - Melody Johnson has a weblog. So does Gabrielle Swain! (I adore her leaf quilts. I think she's one of the reasons I got the bug to do a leaf quilt of my own.)
And more art-quilt-y blogs found by following links all around the web:

I didn't get a lot done this weekend - I had a headache Saturday and didn't end up sewing a single stitch. I did, however, start picking out and trimming fabrics for my theoretical Chinese Coins border. I did get a good bit done on that. I am mulling over how I want to do it - randomly, or maybe sort of a rainbow effect (a rainbow of fall colors, if you will)? I don't know. Random doesn't feel quite right to me. I was mulling over the possibility of putting a different color on each side - maybe red, gold, brown, and orange. I'm not sure how easy that will be to do, though. I have a lot more of some colors than others. The blocks that go in the corners are green, so I think that's enough green already, and I think bright yellow would be too distracting.
I found a note I had written to myself sometime in the last month that there is a pieced puffin pattern in Go Wild With Quilts-Again. It's not quite as cute as the appliqued puffins, of course, but it's cute, and I thought that most of us in the real world are not going to create their own appliqued puffin pattern and so might be interested in tackling the pieced ones!

Whatsamatta with random? I like random. :) A rainbow/gradation effect would be excellent, too. Each border a different color would mess with the symmetry established in the center, I think.
