Well I managed to stick to the colourways that I was trying to use this time ... mostly ... ;-) I pieced like mad on a rainy Saturday, while Ton Waits blared away on the CD player.  It is a pretty simple quilt, but I like it. I've named this one "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You" ... with thanks, of course, to Tom. WOW ...
