this is the first thing i've made from the Lori Smith book bought earlier this year (half price!). i hardly ever use these colors but they caught my eye in february, the nearly end of an endless winter and so they found their way into my stash. there's a small pieced border top and bottom to add and the little flimsy will be done. i'm pretty happy with it considering it's a HST nightmare, but it measured twice and cut carefully and it does make a difference. after this i really need to get back to quilting the lovers' links, finish piecing the pinwheel runner and working on those amish pinwheels as well. these little projects will end up on my 2012 UFO list, which means i'll have lots of finishes as they won't take as much time. next up is piecing the red/cream north wind, i promise.....
This is a beautiful little quilt, Grace. You have done a great job. These aren't colors I usually use, either, but I love this piece. The colors are perfect for it. Nice work!
