Isn't it funny how one thing leads to another?
My oldest is taking a botany class...
which has led to an interest in foraging...
which has led to a trip to a mushroom show.
Who knew?
That there are people just as crazy
for mushrooms as I am for fabric?!
Besides looking at all the different varieties of mushrooms
and their groovy names...
I started to notice their colors...
whites and creams...
reds...
and dark browns...
and even purples!
and how similar they are to my newest finished top...
A FRACTURED QUILT!
from Kathy Doughty's latest book.
I am totally loving this book
and she has a great blog!
The blocks are simple...
and with each one there was this
wonderful feeling of happy surprise
when it was finished.
I dug through my stash...
trying very hard to focus on contrast...
always thinking...
could I get the zippy zig zag to pop?!
Not only were the zig zags fun,
but the lights were fun to work with too.
This is a favorite!
(The last of that great dotted dot!)
A funfunfun project all they way from start to finish!
Which will indubitably lead me
to try a new quilt from Kathy's book!
One thing leading to another again...
Linking up with others enamored with this pattern.
