reluctant windfall

package received yesterday contained these oh-so beautiful kaffe fassett light fabrics....wasn't exactly thrilled altho they are gorgeous and experienced serious drool....

they were bought by someone specifically for a class that could not be attended so they came to me...a thoughtful but bittersweet gift.....and in the hit and miss department, 2 more blocks done but whoa....one is not like the photo as i neglected to piece right side up...huh?  gotta keep that in mind as i move along in this project....can see now why the war was so long...LOL!

and while visiting a neighboring guild today, found yet another super book on the free table....after depositing all the ugly fabrics had pulled from my own stash last week....it's a beauty too....lots of hand quilting, beautiful medallions with scads of border ideas and a pretty solids quilt too!

and the ugly fabrics?  most got taken to be loved by someone else....so there's room on my shelves for the new kaffes.....a win/win day all around!  *** even after quilting 40 years, find that my style preferences are in constant change, attracted by new and old patterns.  life is so brief and each day is precious....but excited about where my muse will take me in the next 40!
