Just because I can....DH walks in on me this morning, as he is leaving for work. He stops in his tracks and starts laughing, "Are you starting another project?" I don't know how he guessed as I was only sitting in the middle of the floor with three of my stash bins opened. Yes, I'm starting a new project. Why? Just because I can. Just piddling, really. Or as my Aunt Isobel would say, noodling. Sometimes I just start things that I know I won't like, just because... I guess... because I can. They have no purpose. No destination. And no sense of color co-ordination. I just want to sew on something new that has no expectations. Do you ever do that? Sometimes I realize that it's the orneriness in me coming out. Like this little piece. I don't much care for doing borders and I said, "I'm going to do this thing." You'll notice, it's almost all borders- with 6 more to go. Why, why, why? There's already four borders and the silly thing is only 30 1/2." Which is now a major problem as the pattern says it should measure 29 1/2." So the next border isn't going to fit properly. And that leaves me annoyed. No, I had no expectations it would work out, but still, the mystery of how it all went wrong is ... perturbing. Is that a word? I think so.

Why why why can't I come up with color combinations like that? It's simply scrumptious, I wish I had a whole quilt with those colors. SIGH.
Ok, Miss Ornery, this little wallhanging would look really cute hanging over my sewing table. When can I expect it in the mail? If you get really bored tonight, give me a call and I'll tell you about my day. The good news is Maddie is not hospitalized! The bad news is she has pneumonia.
Miss you!

I think it looks wonderful!
looks great to me...could be a mistake in the pattern perhaps?? couldn't be something you did *vbs*
It's great, Nina. The colors are AS USUAL FOR YOU outstanding in combination. I can see why you might not relish a set of 8-10 blocks worth, though. That would take a lot of mental energy...more than your mama could find for sure!
Maybe you should just start something else....er...er..er..
XXXXXXXXOOOOOOO
sorry you are perturbed, but the colors are awesome!
You may have just been "noodling," but I absolutely love the colors and the pattern.
I'll be tickled if I can ever make anything that looks this pretty.
In fact, I'm going to go stare at the picture again.

Nina,it is yummy! I always love your color combinations. You inspire me to get to work on the baby quilt I am making for a friends first great-grandchild. Wish me luck. I am planning a simple nine-patch with lots of blue in it.
well blue is my favourite colour so I love it,
I love this little piddle (or noodle) of yours! So festive...fun...charming! (Just like you!) And I thought that the last border was your binding. (It could be, you know!)
And those floors! Goodness, how I love your floors!
