Must be crazy


I DID have one Simply red quilt top done....
I must be crazy.
I Hacked it up. as I was so NOT inspired... I cut it into blocks... and will start again, I think I know now what i want from these scrappy reds... Stay tuned!

To many shadows outside, I couldn't get a decent shot.... we have sun! yippeee!I am not complaining.

Before I cut up that above, quilt top, I had an idea with flying geese,
totally unrelated to the red quilt...
Then when i saw the red strips hanging next to them,
it sort of HIT ME OVER THE HEAD, what i should do with them.


I also gave up making the X-mas quilt any larger. It will make a great lap quilt, and finished up my X-mas scraps for the backing...
I also added a label sewn directly into the quilt back, I wrote out the label leaving room for whomever gets it for a X-mas gift!
(I'm so bad at labels that this sort of seemed the most clever thing for me to do!)

I hope my dog Kia is not trying to tell me something about this quilt by sitting on it....

Thats enough trouble for one day. Gotta go enjoy this beauty of a day.
