Update on the Leaf Pile- it may become a quilt top soon. Eek. Border and backing and quilting next, oh my (and double fucking eek).
The winter blocks are dark and moody, with some light pops just because. I am not sure I'm all the way in love with what I have accomplished- it really didn't come out as i pictured it- but I think it is, something... maybe, crush worthy. It has been fun to make. Still need to play with orientation some more before I sew everything together. Maybe I can still make it better. Maybe I'm still too close to it, and love is coming.
I'm hoping the right border and quilting will help tie it all together? I will try.
Quilt Inspector Jinx is helping choose border fabric and decide how on earth I am quilting this with my little machine....maybe grey all over, swirling like wind? Maybe hidden in the ditch to let the leaves pop? The closer to the end I get, the more overwhelmed I feel by the choices, weirdly. We will see. HERE WE COME, FINISH. (...eventually, don't get up or anything, lol)
Yay.
