"LMNOP"

 When kids learn to sing the
alphabet song,
 the letters
"L,M,N,O,P"
get lumped together.
So, little kiddos,
sing merrily along,
not aware that there
are 26 letters in the alphabet,
not just 22.

I finally had a chance to get caught up
with the Quilt Show's BOM
A-Z for Ewe and Me,
by Janet Stone.

It's too easy to get behind.
This week, I worked on the 
letter
"LMNOP" plus a few others.

A sampler is fun, but 
it's important to pay attention
as you work on each new block.

It's all about balance.
Making sure that the colors and fabrics
are evenly distributed over the quilt top.
Especially, when the BOM
has you sewing the blocks together as you go.


 Then it's easy to get off balance.

But, so far, so good, I think.

Especially the letter
"LMNOP"
Until Next Time-

  4. Love all of your appliqué and variety! Pastels, color, traditional - you've covered it all. The alphabet in pastels is sweet. Congratulations on the Roseville progress.

  10. I didn't know you were making the alphabet quilt. The designer has done some wonderful alphabet quilt designs. You have been accomplishing a lot of applique of late.
