Givio, I love the way the quilt is looking! Love all those scrappy greens! It's going to look wonderful with the scrappy 9 patches alternated with solid 9 patches. And I agree... the cardinal fabric is a great match for that quilt.
Looks like maybe my box of scraps will come tomorrow? Everything takes a day longer (or more!) in and out of this part of the country. I'm so excited to get it.
Progress on my shirts quilt: I have all of the two kinds of blocks made and now I'm working on the setting triangles. I have NEVER pieced a quilt for five straight days! This one has so much piecing. Before I'm done I will add up all the pieces and figure out a total. I just love it tho. Tomorrow my quilting group meets and I really had hoped to have this top together to show them... but it's not going to happen. Just not there yet. I made some pillowcases to donate with new pillows to the women's shelter, and have my Hawaiian dolphins quilt top to show. So I won't go empty handed.
Yay, it's the weekend!
