It was calm enough Tuesday to get a shot of the Spring Circles/Alabama Beauty blocks out on the roof garden. There are now 16 blocks put together and 9 circles have appeared in their entirety. At this point it’s 36″ square. If I make it as large as I’m anticipating, it will be 108″ by 108″. That’s going to require many, many more blocks — 128 more, to be exact. Rather daunting if I look at it that way. I think I’ll focus on getting each quadrant done and not look too far down the road with this one. There’s something about this block that fascinates me.
There were a number of good ideas for the floral print I showed yesterday. This weekend I think I’ll try it against some other fabrics and see if I can find the perfect combination for it. Later today I’ll be working on my One Flower Wednesday hexagon block.
Lester, showing why I think of him as our house lion.
Smudge is usually rather afraid of the window washers and will spend hours under the bed until he’s sure they’re gone. This time? This time he seemed to be quite laid-back about the whole thing. No hiding under the bed.
Quilt Obsession 
Yes, now I really see the “Lion” in Lester. How cool. Perfect timing on that shot.
Friend, Spring Circles are decadent. I’m in awe. I find myself scrolling back up the page to look and stare as I write this reply. This setting makes a girls design & fabric mind start to drift Off the Reservation and that’s the last thing I need to do. But even just a little quilt. Oh I have to leave. This isn’t good for my planned day. I love you and all that good friend stuff but you’re killin’ me!!!
