Now anxious to dig in and get my
Miss P (Posh Penelope) flimsy together, I have a few projects on the design wall that need to be dealt with first so that I can use it for my layout. My second
Happy quilt went to the top of the list because all it needed was a few more sashing strips and a border.
The colours for this one are very similar to the first, but I switched out the orange Kaffe fabric for this brown harvest-themed print of baskets of bread and sheaves of wheat that I bought from Linda several years back.
I was using up a piece of beige and wasn't quite sure that there would be enough so the sashing and first border are cut at 1.5", which is narrower than for
the first.
Most of the remaining colours for the blocks are the same as I used for the first quilt...
but the black in the bread print led me to using this orange check for the border which has a narrow line of black in it. There are a few pieces of this orange in the blocks as well.
So that's another Quilts for Survivors flimsy finished and ready to be quilted. They both originated from me wanting to use a piece of this lovely cinnamon scrap from our church quilters. I did, and that makes me 'happy'!...M

Marie, with the sweltering temperatures we've been enduring, I can't tell you how REFRESHING your "Happy" quilt is with its promise that Fall really is just around the corner and cooler weather will return soon! This quilt will be lovely.
