adding to the memories.....

quick post.....4 more for the pile......



I trimmed all the blocks too.
The rules I follow, sort of....
If the fabrics are pretty together, they get sewn together to make strips.
If a strip is heavy/dark on one side, the next strip sewn to it, is heavy/dark on the other.
Stagger the seams, unless they are butted together.
If it is lookin' dull, add bright.
