Our LQS owner did a demo on Greenfields on page 126 and I couldn't believe it was the same one. She stuck to black with white dots for the squares and then used Christmas fabric for the scrappy sashings-it was stunning.

It's one of the things that make those bitter cold days bearable! I like your idea of throwing away 14 things a day. I could certainly do that. A few years ago, I started throwing away 5 things a day, but somehow let that go by the wayside.Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628279246477636637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-76745550941088957092014-01-04T07:46:01.308-06:002014-01-04T07:46:01.308-06:00I can imagine the intensity of the color you saw w...I can imagine the intensity of the color you saw when you took that photo.

I make piles and get back to them only when pressed to and find out the same thing. I've started to do that to. I really didn't need to save this. I'm sure I saved things, but where did I put it is my problem. Have fun pitching I know I have started doing it to. The blocks really make a statement can't wait to see them together.
