When Monique first showed us this quilt I was intrigued by the setting.
There are a lot of sampler style quilts on the market but the setting on this quilt really sets it apart.
I decided to use 3 different fabrics is the sashing to create a secondary design.
What looked hard was quite easy.

I told you I am not very good at choosing a controlled amount of fabrics. I guess I get bored easily.
As I worked on this each month I added more fabrics. some good choices, some not so much.
Stop by and see the color options at the other blogger girls.

Are You Ready For This!!!
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband’s occupation.
“He’s a funeral director,” she answered.
“Interesting,” the newsman thought.
He then asked her if she wouldn’t mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.
She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years.
After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20’s, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40’s, and a preacher when in her 60’s, and now – in her 80’s – a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.
(wait for it)
She smiled and explained, “I married ~
one for the money,
two for the show,
three to get ready,
and four to go.”
(Sorry I couldnt resist!.)
Happy Friday!!

I really really and truly want this book for myself. I have at
least a zillion fat quarters to use up. I want to make every single
pattern that is shown in this book. I can do this, but I need to be a
winner. Thank you for the chance to win.
