A funny story...

I just have to tell you how much fun I had yesterday reading all your comments. I'm sure many of you came for the first time, I hope you'll come back. Today is Sue's turn so hop on over to her blog and you might win your own copy of this great book. While I was talking to Kim yesterday about the blog tour I told her that I felt a little bad for some of the quilts in the book that were kind of getting overlooked - like Twinkle (see a close -up here). Do you recognize this pattern??? Well, I decided to go home last night and whip up a few blocks :). This is a really fun pattern!! I thought Twinkle would look so good all done in greens and then have little red flowers and that it would look like a garden. Well my basket of 2 1/2" scraps weren't exactly what I had in mind. It ended up looking kind of Christmasy - don't you think? But I think I'm going to love it! Anyway, back to the funny story....
As we were finishing up the quilts last Spring, Kim had finished Twinkle and I brought it home to sew the binding on (which is something I love to do by the way). Now mind you, all 4 of my book quilts were already finished and my DH had been seeing them in progress for months - with basically no comment. When I walked in with Twinkle he said, "Now I like that quilt!" Go figure!! It has a very graphic, modern feel to it when done in the black, white and red. And you can see how different it looks done in the green and red.
That really is the beauty of Kim's books. These quilts are so versatile and fun to make.

Don't forget the last two stops on the tour.
