of Something Grand!
My quilts are usually planned for and given to other people. Not so with this baby! This is Momma’s baby! All mine. Do NOT covet this quilt, girls. Yes, I’m speaking to you, Kim and Margaret! One of you can inherit this someday, but until my ashes are scattered someplace purdy, this is gonna be MINE!
I like contemporary quilts, but I’m an old fashioned quilter at heart. This is going to be a scrappy basket quilt for my front bedroom, using only scraps from my scrap basket (ok, there’s more than a basket’s worth there, but you get the idea). Each basket will have a different background and basket fabric… tan, beige and off white backgrounds, mixed colors in the baskets. Yes, Dean, they will be in “Caron Colors.”
He knows what that means.
I’m 2.5 blocks into the quilt, so there’s a long ways to go. I’ll keep you posted.
Okay. I chuckled at the Caron colors comment but laughed at Stormy and the Evil Eye.

Very cute blog Caron! Yes, with daughters or close friends who love your work, it must be hard to hold them at bay.
The evil eye will do it I am sure!
Am still smiling.
