we are each other's harvest;
we are each other's business;
we are each other's magnitude and bond.
~Gwendolyn Brooks, "Paul Robeson"
Quilting
The last of these values in my scrap bag... for now at least. If you followed earlier posts, you know some of these were removed from the earlier quilts. Such quiet values now. They still look good together, perhaps because most are soft, greyed tones. That little bit of blue adds the right amount of interest.
Next I'll sew these together and quilt it since I'm really trying to work all the way through instead of piling up partial finishes. {We'll see how long that lasts.} Keeping the blocks in order and turned correctly is important. This is a small enough quilt to use the webbing method to sew the blocks together. I find that is the most effective way to keep them in order although the webbing can get caught on my sewing table edges.
Reading
The Windsor Knot by S.J. Bennett begins a mystery series with Queen Elizabeth as the sleuth. I'm not sure why I picked it up but am delighted I did. No, the queen doesn't wander around with a magnifying glass. Instead, she works behind the scene protecting her staff, guiding her advisors, and using all her intelligence to solve the murder of a young man at her favorite castle. There are several books in this series but who knows if there will be more in future.
