Leaves

Last night Briana drove at night in the rain to Youth Leadership up at St Henry's. I didn't want to go home just to turn around to pick her up 90 minutes later, so I hung out in the CCD center while the kids went over to the church to learn the parts of the Mass. I set the radio to Fresh Air with Terri Gross and settled in to cut out all the pieces of another quilt. The same pattern on the green and purple circle quilt will certainly look different with rich hues of wine, ocre, and ecru. The circles are a muted green and off white. I am so excited to see how color changes the dramatic affect of this quilt. In any case there were 108 individual pieces, and, since I didn't have my rotary cutter or my mat, I had to cut all these out with scissors. I suppose this is how they did it back in the day. I finished up just in time for Briana to drive me home in the dark during a down pour. We lived. Yay!
