I was a bit delayed with my latest quilt. I had every intention on finishing it by now, but a certain young man really wanted to go camping with his boys, so I just had to take them! In a word it was fun spending time with him and his friends... hanging with five 13 year-olds is a skill to be sure! All in all they are pretty good kids, I didn't manage to lose any of them or start a forest fire, and I'm pretty proud of myself to have managed this on my own! The weather was perfect; a little chill in the air to keep us hopping, but not too cold... and not wet either. When we drove down the mountain, this is what we saw:
As always around here, its strawberries...
A pine forest? On Maui? Yes indeed, you can read all about it here.
And the work, it's not finished yet, as you can see. I still have to tack down that faced binding. Triangles are hard! Well, improvisational triangles that is. I do like them though... they add a certain energy that the other shapes don't have. I noticed with this quilt I was drawn to use black... more than usual... must be the time of year. Isn't there something that says you can't use black until after Labor day anyway? Hey, have a suuuper weekend! Love ya!
