constant never

 

i have been reveling in the fall vibes this month, so happy with muted, earthy colors. and i'm right in the middle of several fall quilts with no desire to do anything else. i've been steadily at work on wensleydale, and fully committed to the single girl sewalong (with the tandem nine patch project). 

but "pinky stinky edna" has been sitting on the sewing room floor (such a bad choice!) for a while now. the other day i opened up the blue doors, fully intending to sew some curves and make my next single girl wheel. but as i stepped over her, i was feeling so bad for edna that i stopped and tried to figure out how to better situate her.

"one foot on sea, and one on shore,

to one thing constant never"

looking at the set of 16 patch blocks d5 has completed, i had a desire to see them with the pink fabrics. i decided to pause my plans for a second and put together the first row of the edna "just real quick." famous last words, right? being "pinky stinky," just about everything went wrong that could. but i persevered as usual and two hours later i had the first row assembled. 

despite the headaches, this was a nice sidetrip. i actually really enjoyed the not-autumnal pinks. now, back to browns, oranges, deep blues, and curves or fpp.
