. I have been sewing since my hubby has been in Rehab. Got these blocks out after I got the board cleared off and laid them out. This was our Quilter's Hollow Friendship swap we did this year. Thought this was a good setting to do some quilting in the light sections. It isn't finished. I am putting a 2 inch light border on and then piano keys of assorted fabrics for the outside border. Put a floral up with it but just didn't work. These are all Thimbleberries prints that really show up as solids.
So on to make lots of strips.
Then I also finished last night this last round of the Yours Truly Round Robin. Otherwise I made it all but Carol Doaks gave us the guidelines for each round. Of course it had to have paper piecing in it and Carol's patternsSo on to make lots of strips.
I love the softness it represents. Used only about 5 different fabrics. The flowers are mostly hand dyes that I have had for a long time. Now to get it quilted.
But first I have to sew another quilt together. Yes, Bonnie gave our last round to the mystery Orange Crush quilt. I got the blocks laid out on my wall but will have to look for a bit and make sure the colors are OK. Don't like to have the same prints close to each other.
I also found three of the pinwheel blocks that I had set wrong.. Easy to do on blocks like this . Picture later.
Now if only the Tree guy would call tomorrow and come by and let me know when they will be here.This is leaving a whole lot of dead leaves in my yard. That is suppose to come in the fall.

You are obviously making good use of your time, as both quilts look beautiful. I am still studying on my OC also. I am trying to decide if I want 1 big quilt, or 2 smaller ones. I hope your tree guy shows up soon.
just found your blog. The quilt is absolutely stunning. I love the dark/light contrast.
