Home, circa early 1900's

 
 
This is where I grew-up.  Of course this photo was taken 70 or so years before my family came there to live.  The window's above the porch is where my childhood bedroom was/is.  Time has not been very kind, but I hope that can be fixed.

English Paper Piecing

by: Vicki Bellino is where the pattern for my Hexie quilt is from.  

 As you can see I am doing mine in green.  I like the red, but I had the Green Toile that I really love and had not come across a pattern I was willing to use it on. 

Isn't it funny that I have to be willing to use a certain fabric.  Is it strange?  Am I Kookie?  I know I have a fabric affliction, but I have to be willing to use it, I mean it really is just fabric.


 As it turned out keeping the fabrics in this olive color family has been kind of hard but it will be what it is.  I think it will be beautiful when I am done.


I am kind of nervous about the outer edge but I need to expand my skills and this is on a small enough scale that I should be fine.
