"There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own."

A little colour therapy

A little colour therapy has worked wonders. I was not sure that I wanted to commit to making a big quilt, but this mini has hit the spot. It is 12 and 3/4 inches square -- perfect for a wall hanging or even a little table mat. I might have to wait until March to officially display the Jim Shore egg (a favourite).


Our weather has improved a little, and we should be on the plus side of zero by Friday. I'm hoping for an early spring!

I forgot to mention that the little blocks were paper pieced.

    That is very pretty and cheerful! The egg goes with it very well, I'd leave it out and enjoy it!

    Beautiful! Your mini quilt perfectly accompanies your Jim Shore egg! I love them both. Your piecing and quilting are also perfect! Is the quilt pattern yours, or can you tell us more about it? I'd love to make one someday in colors just as vibrant as yours! ---"Love"

    To answer "Love's" question...
    The pattern is from a Carol Doak book "300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks".
