I think it appropriate and a neat coincidence that today, as we usher in autumn and bid adieu to summertime, I finished my "Star Spangled Summer" quilt top. In fact, at almost exactly the time of the equinox, 3:02 p.m., CDT, I put in the last stitches. And here's what I learned from this quilt: The next time I make a quilt whose blocks consist of teeny sharp points, I'm sashing that sucker. Joining those blocks was a pain. And every place that points happen to meet is an another happy coincidence. Making the blocks was fun; putting them together made me want to scream. And I lost count of how many times I stuck myself with pins.
Happy Fall, Y'all!
