February's Whiggly Whimsy ~

 


The last day of February is here, and I have done some work on my quilt top for Terry's sew-along! I knew I still did not want a "just white" background, and I have wanted to use this red square dot print....(I wonder, does anyone recognize it?)   :-}


 
Looking through my charm square packs, I found 2 of the "Circa 1934" packs, and thought that they would work perfectly for the job. 

 
I'm pretty sure I want to go a bit larger than the 56" finish size the pattern calls for. 

 
 I am adding a bit of this and that; I can't leave well enough alone, lol :-}



 


 ~the finished table runner was my practice 
of the pattern...again, no plain background~




AND----My Sweetie is home!
"What are you taking my picture for?"

 "Because I want folks to know how happy I am, and why!!"












"Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful." Psalm 116:5

    Your wiggly whimsy looks great! I always seem to change a pattern I'm working on too, but I don't think I will on this one.

    Oh my. I love that last picture of Larry! He's so adorable with that sweet, special smile. I just want to hug him! Please do so for me!

    As for your quilt... it looks quite intriguing. I haven't seen that pattern. Looks really good, and somewhat modern. I will be watching to see how it develops.
