Remember the yellow strips I showed awhile back? I took all of the ones that were not a full length (44") strip and made them into regular log cabin blocks. I'm saving the full length strips for a courthouse steps version. I decided to made a tablerunner with these. It is a little brighter in real life. 
Here is the backing fabric, same as the border. It is one of those fabrics that I wouldn't have bought at regular price, but at 40% off it looked pretty good. I felt like wavy line quilting, not anything fussy.
I was looking at quotes yesterday and I came upon some by Monet, whose birthday is November 14, 1840. I was born exactly 100 years later to the day. One of his quotes is:
"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment". I can relate to that.
Another quote is:
"People discuss my art and pretend to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love". I can also relate to that. Sometimes the artist's statement that accompanies a quilt is trying to make you understand where they were going, when really isn't just loving the way the piece looks enough?
