They DO look planned in your pretty little version of MidWinter Blues. <br />Bless the premise behind Lori and "Humble Quilts." Often when I'm obsessing over what to put where, and do I have enough, and should I pick another fabric, I lighten up, go with what I have, and let it go. I let it go. Vivian, let it go. I need to keep telling myself that. <br />I grew up with everything matchy-matchy, and everything in the proper place. I have to ignore that with my quilting. Your post reminds me of that. Thank you!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-14862413791880437892014-02-17T16:44:27.328-07:002014-02-17T16:44:27.328-07:00I feel like those three little missing strips!!

Well, my dear, I do love your solution and from my point of view, it looks just like you planned the outside sashings to be "just a bit" different!! Good job!!

I love all your BLUES! I'm making more quilts with blue this year. Such a soothing color. I might have to go and save this pattern to use up some of my CW fabrics. Cleaning in my Quilt Zone I found a bunch of 30's and CW fabrics that were hiding.
