RoundUp did a good job there though, to not have to go too close. It was just an always job ... and you never finished it up at once,
However, on a "perfect" weather day ... I enjoyed the "getaway" from the world as I cut the grass ..... and that was usually a time when I could take my time and go at a reduced pace!
And to think QNSue has already done her first grass cutting! 
Brown and perhaps a beige for the cornerstones?
I think you guys are still talking about the FW quilt...I have kind of a coppery brown for sashing and a deep tan for cornerstones. While I don't have all of my blocks done, I have put sashing and cornerstones on 2 sides of each block so I can still shuffle them around to get the placing that pleases me. It's all in a project box for a couple of months. Deadlines for other quilts loom in May/June.
