I found another Kaffe print in the same red/orange as the button fabric for a possible choice for binding. I have to check all around the edge and make sure that fabric wasn't used in an edge block.
I spent all morning yesterday sorting my brown/rust/gold fabrics. They had been displaced when I started moving things around in the basement. I love the rich earthy tones but they don't seem to be very popular with most people. These fabrics were formerly on a shelf unit where my lack and whites reside now. I can move these boxes to an area where I don't have to walk around them now.
A lot of the quilt tops I have made so far this year have been projects that were cut or started in previous years. I decided to pull out another partially cut and pieced project that was started in July 1996 in a class I was teaching.
I love all of these fabrics even after all of those years.
This is the book I was teaching from. I went to a week long seminar in Chicago that was offered by Mary Ellen Hopkins in the mid 1980s. We each made a sample from this book during that week.
This is the one I made. I like all of the fabrics in this one too.
It's a little hard to see the X blocks because the fabrics are too close in value. It's prettier in real life.
When I was out in the garden yesterday I noticed the violets are filling in between the Lily of the Valley.
The batteries for my mower aren't holding a charge so I ordered new ones. My neighbor was kind enough to finish my mowing in the front and also mow my backyard.
