on a bright side for me, I finally stopped doddling around and finished my Lake house teapot table topper and I was quite please how it turned out. Right now I am going to sort through some of my "special" buttons and dress out a couple of the flowers that are included on the tea pots. I think it will make a nice gift for a woman I intend to give it. If the buttons work out .. well. basically I place them wher I want them and let them set there for a while until I am quite sure this is what I want. Sometimes I have a way of overdressing something then it's a large disappointment to me. So now I just place and walk. And then decide. But the neatest thing for is... I am getting to start my "braid" lap top sized quilt. If it works out for me, then I am going to make a new templete larger, and I want to do my son's QOV due to the chevron look. The fabrics that I have picked out will good very nice in the chevrons and I have a perfect fabric for the strip rows between the braids. Wish me luck..
