Three more of the pickled ladies are ready. As they are 6″ blocks I’m thinking that for a small lap quilt I’ll need somewhere in the range of 130 of them. I do plan on adding a border to these, so that number may decrease. The deciding factor will probably be just how many shabby chic florals I have that are appropriate for fussing cutting/printing.
These two are among my current favourites.
It’s getting to the point now that I need to print more of the black spiky triangles for the arcs, and go through more of the shabby chic prints looking for appropriate florals to fussy cut/print. It takes no time to prepare a few dozen, so I hope to get that done sometime between now and Monday.
We had a gloriously warm sunny day on Tuesday. It felt like a summer day rather than the first day of autumn. The longer it stays this way, the better.

I love the little sprig in the first picture. It is airy and delicate and will go so well with the bigger flowers.

Your pickled ladies just keep getting better. What a beautiful quilt this is going to be. The boys are looking handsome as usual. We had lots of storms yesterday, so today is cooler. Have a good day. Winona
