Happy Kelli

 Two rows of happiness!
A strangely angled, but happy Kelli
 Pure bliss
 'insert gooey witty comment here'
Have I told you lately how much I love this quilt? I could probably count the ways, but don't want to bore you too much with my words of woo.  These babies are all basted down, ready for the sewing machine. I love this fabric, you can fussy cut it, or not, and it still looks good.  You might think I spend all my time quilting, well I don't :) I love variety, I have made a start on Pandamonium, I am using the freezerpaper/starch method for this one, why? I think the big shapes will work just fine with this method, and I can't possibly do a mix of methods, my brain won't let me, maybe there is a method in my madness?? Hang on, madness in my method?? Here is one of my other loves.....Crochet
I just finished this sweetness, the colour gives me goosebumps! I was trying for a type of colour wheel wash, but it is kind of rainbow, aren't rainbows a colour wheel? Dunno, I think I will stop thinking about it and go crosseyed from looking at this psychedelic fire and ice wave...till next time quilting fans....... xx Kelli

      Good for you Sheila, I am just a bower bird that is drawn to shiny (new) things, I have fun with all my projects, finishing them isn't the goal (maybe it should be, I think I can hear my husband LOL)Looking forward to seeing your Flower Garden:)

    I love all your colors. I am trying very hard to stick to just my Flower Garden project. Kim's patterns are so fun it's tough to focus.

    Wonderful, wonderful Kelli! I can't wait to see your whole quilt together, even if "finishing" isn't your main goal. Your fabric choices just glow. You are an inspiration to keep me on track for getting my borders done too. I have no crochet abilities at all so admire yours. How large is that piece? Is it a throw?
