Long time since I wrote...but wanted to tell folks I've finally completed cutting out fabrics for quilt on the cover of Simple Graces by Kim Diehl, called Pie in the Sky. Only instead of 6 X 8 blocks, will be 10 X 10 blocks. My ONLY attempt at king size ever. Used Distry FQ Sampler & Garden Quilter's Candy FT, PLUS another FQ collection of "butterscotch" and similar and another version of the Quilters Candy. A few fabric duplications is all. It is going to be SO much fun mixing colors...three colors per block. If you are interested, center looks like ohio star 'tilted' within churn-dash, within 3rd color. Sashing is 2" blocks joined, one row inside quilt, two rows on outer edge. I want it to looks like the colors of fall, beautiful leaf-peepers and blue sky and fall florals...all mixed together.
I'd asked my hubby which of a few he liked best, and this was his pick. But he DID admit, the cute cat on it in the photo was what especially caught his eye...grey tabby with white socs, bib, moustache and wiskers! (smile) :D
