I'm on a roll...

Mostly because now that I've rearranged the living room, there's a big wall with nothing on it. And nothing to hang there that I really like any more. There's also a conspicuous lack of a throw on the sofa -- so in an effort to reduce the pile, I paid a visit to my UFO corner and found these blocks.

Only this time, they had more appeal than the last time we met -- and, now that I've changed up a couple pillows, they go (more or less) with the living room. A slight stretch (Lord knows there're enough colors in there), but better than nothing -- so they became this over the weekend:

I still haven't decided whether it'll get snuggled under or displayed on the wall -- that, I think, depends on the quilting. But I have to admit, I'm back in like with it. Not love...yet. Give me time.

It's a neat quilt -- looks big in the photo! I like the fabric mix.

This is lookng nice. I made a simular design a few months ago. Maybe you could border or bind it with your favorite color.

I like it! I love that pattern.

That quilt top is gorgeous, and should be able to fit into a number of decorating schemes. Almost a chameleon.

Well, I'm in love with it. I'm starting to collect batiks and hand-dyes in blues, purples, and greens so that I can make something not unlike this someday.

I happen to like it a lot! If you really get tired of it, I'm sure between Megan and me we could find a loving home for it!

I like how it goes all the way to the floor. Very dramatic.

I like the bold use of colours - somhow I find it very calm to look at, at the same time. A true mystery! Brilliant :)
