OOOOH! Pretty Colors!

Sorry, Diane D., but I just had to use this for my post tonight!! My first task this morning was to draw a grid on the white cotton background:

After a trip to the post office to mail quilts to Dee and Teri, I got to work rotary cutting 3 1/2 squares of the fused silk. I will probably suffer from rotary wrist tomorrow! Here are the squares; now everyone say Ooooh! Pretty colors!

My next project is to pad the table and start laying out the design:

Look at what I found today. I just love these colors (of course) and the designs:

    Yummy colors! Can’t wait to see this piece as it comes together. I loved the prototype.

    Are those Kleenex boxes? Are they oval-shaped? How cool. I have never seen such a thing. I must shop! I keep the pretty, empty Kleenex boxes to use as mini trash containers for threads and snips next to my sewing machine or hand sewing. These would be perfect.
