Great idea. <br /><br />I like the soft colors of the quilt you decided to finish, it is perfect for the shabby look and I would love it in my guest room where I use a lot of soft colors and mix a lot of old and new together.

I really like this BB block better than the first. I have opted out of doing this project as I have way too many UFOs, so I will just enjoy watching you make yours.

It's a lovely UFO you're working on. Sometimes a more subtle contrast can result in a more relaxing quilt, and as you say, it will be good for spring/summer. I have left pins in a project for a long time too, very naughty of us.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718801532958257392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676650259809620180.post-72843434339807429132014-02-09T14:40:40.886-06:002014-02-09T14:40:40.886-06:00LOL.

When it's finished I re-stock the little bag with the floss and linen or the needles and yarn for another.<br />The newly-finished quilt is just beautiful. Perhaps someday there will be a granddaughter who would be thrilled to receive it!<br />I'm glad you feel such a closeness to Canada. I have a grand aunt from Cody Wyoming. She is now in her 90's - closer to 100 I believe. I imagine what a shock it must have been to her to come to small-town Nova Scotia when she married my grand uncle, a small town lawyer.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676650259809620180.post-37553852786104429342014-02-09T11:20:11.004-06:002014-02-09T11:20:11.004-06:00Looks like you will have a great summer quilt when...Looks like you will have a great summer quilt when the torch goes out.
