Will Work for Fabric

Don't alert the authorities....

The kids were off from school yesterday so I decided to make a weekend of it and head to the woods while the leaves are still performing their autumn dance.  And this is what I see out my window today...

See, this was worth taking a day off from school, don't you think??

So in between walks and leaf piles, I revisited my Civil War Diary blocks. 

Somehow it was hard for me to work on them while I was so focus on the brights in that other quilt.  But now with the weather turning colder, it seems right to turn to these warmer, feels-like-fall colors.

And there is something really satisfying about all those little points coming together so nicely......love that paper piecing, especially since I have been using Carol Doak's paper made just for this purpose.....worth the money in my checkbook!

All this fall-ness makes me feel like baking an apple pie....and I probably could find some people around here to eat it too.

Have a very happy autumn weekend,

Hugs and Stitches!

My Goodness

My Goodness, you all are so kind!!!!  All the comments and emails on the Lollipop floored me!

This has been a fantasimagical journey for me.  I have learned so much....

• I have learned that Lorre has ALOT of fabric (thanks for sharing!) and this type of quilt requires not alot of any one fabric but many different fabrics----score!  validation of constant stash enhancement!

• I learned you can never have too many circles on a block

• I learned a project like this is so much more fun with friends

• and I learned to let go of the Miss Matchy voice in my head.  The colors are all so wonderful that in the big scheme of things, if two fabrics side by side don't necessarily go together, that's ok, I love them all, so they all have a place on my quilt.

And now on to the next project, no resting on my laurels, according to the Wednesday Nite ladies (D and M---you know who I mean!)

But before that I wanted to show you the Blue stars with the borders....

I'm really happy with how it turned out and now that my Bernina has returned with brand spanking new parts, I can quilt this one.

ooo, don't you just love finishing things???

Hugs and Stitches!
