What a difference a day makes! Sunday was hot and humid and yesterday was was as wet as wet can be. I took this photo from my office window. Just look how green everything is.
Well I was hoping to show you a finished It’s a Hoot quilt top but between physio and podiatrist appointments and sore ankles I didn’t really get much machine sewing done. However I do want to thank you all for your input on the background colour. I think that of the ones I showed you the small dots on the beigey grey background was the best. However even it didn’t really grab me. Then I decided to look at the remaining jellyroll strips and I’ve used those. I had to shorten my strip panels by 4 pieces so that a whole jellyroll strip would reach to the end but I’m liking what I’m seeing as I sew (and unsew – can you believe I actually sewed one strip wrong side up! I guess that’s what’s being less than 100% does for you lol).
Anyway, hopefully by tomorrow the top will be finished and I can show what it looks like.
Your picture proves that all greens go together!
I hadn’t thought of it like that but you’re right Annette
What a beautiful view you have out your window! I am so envious. I can hardly wait to see the finished quilt. I know it will be lovely no matter which color you use for the sashing. 8-]
