Because It's Colorful!


Continuing my latest bend to finish old ideas....
I found a small pile of these four patches and added a few more 
so there was a quilt's worth.
I am going to add thin sashing to highlight the blocks and keep the colors distinct.
This is not the final layout-I have only begun rearranging them! lol
Bill and I spent some time in the car yesterday-
the colors of the blue, gray and orange really called to me.
Perhaps you will see it on canvas soon!
While in the car, I did some knitting,
starting this shawl, 
in some handspun that was a shawl in a past life, too.
I am enjoying knitting the leaf motif over and over.
Short rows will fill in the curve by picking up the stitches 
from one side of this long strip.

  2. I love your new quilt top. It's so cheerful. I was just very bad over at Missouri Star and now I have something to look forward to but sadly something to add to my ever growing pile that will never get done. Lol....
