You know me too well

You guessed right, I was going to wait until the new year but I had no self control. This is just a small start on the Stars and Sprigs quilt. I had a plain off white fabric already in the cupboard for the applique but not enough for the whole quilt.


The local  quilt shop had this fabric with a pale lavendar spot on a neutral background so I thought that might be nice for the stars.

Now where was I? Oh yes, puppy dogs, stitcheries and a vine to applique, back to it.

I've removed the need for the word verification when leaving a comment, I'll see how it goes. I can always put it back if I get spam.

    Once I have the pattern and fabric it's almost impossible not to go ahead and start. I think I'll make one block and see how it looks, etc. etc. Yes, I think you're right - it's QADD!!
