Went to the smaller quilt show today, parking was rough but I got a spot! Some nice quilts, got a few ideas bubbling around in my head.
My BFF who just came to visit a week ago called yesterday to let me know she is going to be having some medical issues. Caught early, good prognosis but scary as these things are. I need to put together a comfort quilt quickly. I have the backing fabric in mind (a happy golden yellow background with darker-than-primary flowers) and am reviewing various options for the top. She loves the outdoors and gardening, I'm thinking of fairly vibrant medium-large scale florals in a four-patch with a narrower sashing (I have a mossy sort of fabric that might be good) and corner stones of some sort. Or maybe the 3-strip sashing that becomes a 9-patch in the corners.
The possibilities are endless, but time is not. Looks like the paper pieced blocks may have to wait.
