September has arrived, and along with it we received a COLD morning on this second day of the new month. I was able to turn off the central airconditioning unit last night for the first time in atleast a week, and open my bedroom window. I turned my little room fan on high and went off to La-la Land. In the middle of the night, I woke up cold, and I had to close my window ! Then this morning, my husband wanted me to join him for coffee on the front porch, but I weenied out, saying it was too chilly ! Kindof made me dread seeing the end of Summer, but that's silly, since I've spent most of it hiding inside under the air-con.
Anyway, the anticipation of Autumn found me designing a new quilt. I thought that it was for my husband, but now I have someone totally different in mind. The funny thing to me is where my inspiration came from, and how different the top became from what I first loved.
My two inspirations were THIS QUILT
And, this little block that I made once while playing with leftover triangles and scraps (it's a 4" sq)
This is all I can show right now, but I hope to finish it soon.
Dolly, you are amazing....thats what I am thinking. Love that star combination especially. I pulled a quilt I made off the shelf yesterday and put it on the bed. Lovely Ohio star in blue and white. to match the newly painted blue walls. quilting fabrics are so gorgeous! We have a nice quilt shop near us with oodles of beautiful fabrics. My health is going downhill now and I can't do what I used to but am trying to work of small things if I can. I love fall fabrics with colorful leaves and little squirrells etc. You'd think I was 8 instead of 68 haha. hugs, Maggie Ann
