Something was missing......

My quilters palette blocks were laid out.


I arranged them...




But, something was missing?
I knew it was not purple, because that is not a color I enjoy.

It was ORANGE!!

So, I made two orange blocks and now I like how it looks.




Next white Kona sashing.

I also felt guilty because the Civil War Binder kept staring at me, so I did make a few of those too.

I know, I picked easy ones! but hey, they all have to get done right?




Happy sewing

How could you forget orange? It's the colour this season (technically tangerine or something). But it's just what was needed. Looking fab!
