Lovely mix of colours!! Quick question and this may be absurd, do you recall using any scraps from Kaffe Fassett? Some of those colours look like his pallet. I'm starting to work with his fabrics and notice you can't just throw it around. There's a reason he's an artist and (for me) I need to study the effect of his fabric against others. Thanks ahead of time for your response. I'm always curious about things....

leighway, as far as I am aware I did not use any fabric from Kaffe Fassett, I just googled and I get why you thought that I may have, some of those fabrics I saw when I googled were similar to the fabrics I have used.

I conclude that you are as crafty a photographer as you are a quilter. Notice the shadow of whatever building perfectly coincides with the top of the quilt in the second photo. The fall landscape in the background is georgeous! I miss that so much. Here we only get the hot sunshine until monsoons and then it's rain, rain and more rain.

Thank you, I had to go back and look at the photo I posted to see what you meant! The fall landscape has been absolutely stunning here and certainly one thing that amazes me. However, you would probably hate the winters here!!

I am absolutely amazed at all the kind words I have received from posting pics of my quilt. What a bunch of lovely people you all are, you are very encouraging. For those that it has inspired to make a string quilt I look forward to seeing them. This is a very fun quilt to make and I really did not think about what fabric I was using, if it was the right size I used it!

Thanks again, happy sewing!
