And then I would want to quilt a swirly pattern like wind, and maybe a few "ghost leaves" quilted in that echo the pieced ones... But I know what you mean about too many pots on the stove. I'm currently in the mindset of "git 'er done and move on" with a few projects that have been hanging around my studio (or hanging over my head!) for way too long.

And the whole project is far enough down the list that I'll have time to think it through. The extra work that goes into planning is better spent than in ripping. I keep telling myself this. Yes, it will be a good, creative project.

Maple leaves are especially my favorites with all the pink tones! I think swirls, too, with some windy leaves caught up mid-air would be lovely.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-88998995672106665212017-06-22T08:04:07.882-04:002017-06-22T08:04:07.882-04:00In the second picture, the left side of the block ...In the second picture, the left side of the block is correct.
