Peacefully piecing
I didn’t think it would, but it has. Rachel’s pale and interesting quilt has grown on me. And while it grows on me I keep on piecing and it grows – 20 squares now. I have no idea how big it will be. It will be as big as it is when I run out of fabric. So far it seems to be holding out fairly well. It’s turning out to be very delicate and very, very pretty, but unfortunately not very photogenic – which may be because of the light conditions today…or on the other hand may not. But I like it. And I think you will too!
As I can’t run – at least for another couple of weeks – I’m consoling myself with piecing, which I find immensely calming and soothing.
Calm and soothed is good. Now I have to do French homework with my son. This is something that he finds very difficult and by the end probably neither of us will be feeling very soothed….
So….vive le français….

You know I like big and bold Helen but I am liking the delicateness (is that a word?) of this fabric…I think it will look stunning and in situ, in what I am imaging is a beautiful French house, it will look very at home.

Any homework with sons is unsoothing 🙁
The quilt is very pretty. Kind of gentle.

I love bright colors too and am always drawn to dark jewel tones, but these pale muted fabrics are gorgeous. So peaceful and soothing, which might be just what some quilts should be. Exquisite choices, Helen!
