…this is way more fun than back in the day….
But don’t you wish you could go back
To the days when only homework
Was your biggest problem?!
(knowing what you know now of course!)
So after laying these out….it is a hot mess!
They all look really awesome on their own,
But added together is just a train wreck…..
All my patterns are on the same scale, so
I don’t have enough contrast…of anything!!
And so, I believe I am going to just abandon
All the rules and add some white sashing to
Break up the madness. Oh, did I mention that I
Wussed out and only did 55 blocks in stead of 80?!
Lol! I used up scraps and FQ’s which involved
Wayyyyyyy to much ironing and true-ing up and
Cutting and paying attention…. So I gave up.
HEY!! I have like a big quilt I need to do here!
(I know; like someone forced me into the quilt-along)
Anyhow, either way, it is coming along….
And I am reminded of a bumper sticker:
“Women who follow the rules rarely make history”
Amen sister!
And I spent too much time and $$$ in michaels
(they are having a kick ass sale this week, yall!)
And got lots of goodies to decorate for fall…
Here’s one of my little fall creations

i need to take some pix before the sun goes down.
The entire couch in the living room
Is nothing but flowers….I have some
Arranging to do!
And last but not least, I would like
To leave you with a beautiful front
Porch view of a boco fall sky

I actually love the colors you have on that picture. I think that would be such a beautiful and romantic quilt. Very shabby chic! But don't let me tell you what to do. You are the artist and you need to do what makes you happy. Otherwise you hate to work on it and it never gets done! Can you tell I've been there?
You're so funny when you say I'll be done with the trailer in a couple of days. I'm looking for the perfect bathtub and I haven't found it. Get the violins out! Of course, I'm totally obsessing over it and can't get much done.
Gorgeous picture from your porch!
