The second block was redone with a more solid black for the triangles, and I like the effect much more. Compare that to how it looked before:
Pickled Ladies 4 is, I think, so far my favourite. I absolutely love this floral print.
We are definitely into fall weather with very cool nights — so cool, in fact, that we are finding we have to turn the heat on once the sun has gone down. It seems unbelievably early to be turning the heat on. This week is going to be quite cool, by the sounds of it, so I’m guessing we may have to have heat on during the day as well some days.
The cats were definitely finding cozy spots to curl up and have a nap during the weekend. Smudge on a chair:

Yes, I am loving these blocks too! Just beautiful!! Aren’t the cool nights wonderful? Great sleeping weather here. And yes the cats are finding great ways to snuggle.

Oooo that floral is wonderful in this block!! I have turned the heat on a couple of times in the morning just to get the chill out then I turn it back off. I praying for a mild winter after the awful ones we’ve had the last two years.

All of the blocks are wonderful. This will be a quilt where the viewer will spend a long time looking at all of the fussy cut floral pieces.
