I have almost finished a quilt, which I hope I can show you tomorrow. I'm working on the binding. I started it Dec. 26, 2006, had the borders on by April, basted it in Aug. or Sept. and quilted it in Nov. I started many other projects in between the steps, and now I am ready to start another new one. I got this new Kaffe Fassett book earlier this month. I love the quilt pictured on the cover, but it is made with solid color fabrics which I find fade much quicker than prints over time.
I pulled out my Fossil Fern (Benartex) print fabrics and chose the colors that I think will work. The Kaffe print squares are leftover from the Star Trip quilt so I laid them on there for a visual. This is a simple quilt that will give me a color fix in this winter season. You may have noticed that I don't make a lot of complicated piecing quilts, I use simpler patterns and let the fabric do the exciting work. I have done a lot of the complicated patterns in the 50 years I have been quilting, and they don't make me anywhere near as happy as the simpler, more graphic ones.
