Happy Sunday!  I love getting to "my time" with Lucinda Williams softly playing in the background, the iron is warm, it looks like rain outside and I'm quilting! I'm really digging how this quilt is finally coming together. The continued scrappy feel of this quilt as colors and prints have collided into a happy smile on my face.

You can see the change I've made. And of course, I have some new crazy quilted cushions coming along with a new bit of a slant on crazy quilting. It was quite by accident that I decided to move into placing 2.5 in squares I purchased from a lovely UVIC student who was so sweet to help me find her using our phones on that ...
