I love this quilt, I think sometimes we do get caught up in how it is going to look in the end and forget the purpose of the process. That bark cloth was meant to be there.. that's why it's there and the tiny little red scrap holds that corner with it's all mighty existence. Without it, there would be a hole in this quilt. Every bit has a purpose of some sort. <br />Your stitching looks beautiful!<br /> Sujata Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342637667662268215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501766604865364993.post-17492683584187308542014-10-15T01:46:26.304-07:002014-10-15T01:46:26.304-07:00Well I can't say anything original.

I lived in Montana the hike was steep in places so we went slow and we had to walk through a creek. It was open so you could see the beautiful mountains as we walked up. I saw more on the hike then I had seen before cause I took my time and really looked at where I was. Life is good!<br />Thank you!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684548762616515968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501766604865364993.post-67118771600625487572014-10-11T19:54:34.253-07:002014-10-11T19:54:34.253-07:00There is a LOT to love there!

Some of them are really old and left overs from earlier quilts, too good to throw out, so the last few scraps suddenly become precious and bring back memories.

Your quilt is a beauty and I can't wait to see it quilted. I do have to admit I felt kind of hostile towards Cathy Needham when she talked about stitching in the ditch "every stinkin seam" in her Craftsy class. It's kind of like when you resented your parent telling you what to do as a child even though you knew they were right. You are leading by example...
