I’ve been clearing a bit more room in my closet, and you’re
looking at the result. It started out as 42 7-inch squares of fabric, all from
Minnick and Simpson’s way-out-of-print Polka Dots and Paisley line. They’ve
been sitting in my closet for at least six years, waiting for me to decide what
to do with them. I think what had me stalled is there were equal numbers of
blue and beige prints, but fewer of the red. I could have easily added to the
blue or beige, but this is a very unusual red. It isn’t lipstick; it isn’t
cherry. It isn’t crimson or scarlet or candy apple. In the end, I added two brighter,
bolder reds from my stash. They’re both paisleys, but they’re not a perfect
fit. I’m thinking of adding a border or two before I quilt and bind this. If I’m
still not happy with it, I can always give it to someone I never visit.
