Wow!  It's been awhile since I posted anything.  I took a week off that extended awhile as I took care of things going on in my life.  I bet that has happened to you! 

Anyhow, I wanted to post some pics of my version of the Woodland Winter quilt:

Keeping it all connected

                                      

 

 

And finally, Voila!

Which border do you like?  I like the flowered one, although Harriet said to use the solid red one.  The borders are added later after I finish the rest of  the quilts in the book. 

 

My seams do not quite butt  up to each other perfectly, but I am improving!

 

 

 

New Project

The first quilt I'm working on is 'Woodland Winter':

The fabrics I'm using are these:

Isn't selecting the fabric one of the best parts of quilting?  It doesn't take long, and one has a big stash!  The grouping above actually uses fabrics from different collections, like a "real" quilter.  Usually I buy groups from my favorite designers  - how about you?  Do you have favorite designers?  I have several  - I can identify their fabric without ever having seen it before and I am always going to love whatever they design.  I know their groups better than anyone working in the stores  - that's terrible, right?  How about you?  Some of my favorites are 3 Sisters, French General, Basic Grey, Sue Zipkin, Blackbird Designs and Tula Pink.  And that's just the beginning....
