Focus

My whole week has been working on the test quilt.
It is big.
It is beautiful.
I can't wait to show you photos.
Here are some bonus triangles that show the backside of the colors.
I think I'll end up using them to make a table runner or something for the bedroom.

I have 2 more blocks to make and then to get the rest of the quilt top sewn together.
