A Texas Quilt for a Brit

 I did indeed finish the Texas quilt for Miss Ru's friend who is visiting from England.  I like it.  Even though it is far from perfect.  There are lots of junctions that did not meet as they should.  Oh, well.

 I had Ruthie ask him his favorite color and after questions as to "Why?", we found that his favorite color is green.  I used this nice Kaffe Fassett along with some Connecting Threads Quilter's Candy for the backing.  I thought perhaps if he got tired of looking at western blocks the green would be a rest.

He was surprised and apparently very happy with it.  He stayed here with us for a couple of nights and is now at Perry's apartment where they are having a wonderful time doing "guy" stuff.  LOL

Tomorrow is Miss Ru's birthday celebration.  It is not her birthday until closer to the end of the month, but she has taken the whole month to celebrate and so the party is tomorrow.  Her brother and his sweet wife are hosting it at their house.  Yippee!

When I got back into my sewing room I started on this quilt.  I had the idea rattling around in my head and I needed to let it out.  I have one more row to add and then I'll think about borders or no borders.

The really strange (and extremely annoying) thing is that the string basket not only did not go down in volume but appears to have increased.  How does that happen?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs and kisses,
