We have three different shades of the Adel in Autu

We have three different shades of the Adel in Autumn backing @meanderandmake . I’ve used the Olive here on my #goodgirlquilt . This one in NO WAY matches. Lol. But the cream would have been too much “lightness”, so I used it anyway. And I’m thinking it flows okay. 😬Every time Wade (husband who thinks he’s funny) sees this quilt he says, “your backing doesn’t match.” 🤬☹️😡🙄 And then I’m irritated for the next five minutes. 🙃 Who in your life is making you crazy right now? Anybody?
.
I went with the 435 color thread for my chunky stitch binding. It worked nicely with the #earthygoodnessfabrics .
.
Good Girl pattern releases November 5.

Rule number 1 that I always forget: Reserve JUDGEM

Rule number 1 that I always forget: Reserve JUDGEMENT of your FMQ for when it comes out of the dryer. 🥰😍🥰 ….crinkles! 🤤

I just had to share @jules.sewsandquilts #goodgirlquilt . She has made MAGIC! I am just so in love with the ombre coloring she’s got going on. The bird is a pukeko (keep swiping), Julie said it followed her around as she too pics. 🤣

Good Girl releases on November 5. You can preorder now if you want. 🤎

Here’s another #goodgirlquilt . I want to say I made this one 2018ish. I love this quilt in monochrome. I wrote the pattern this time around with a bit more flexibility. You can choose to gather up your WOF strips/leftover jelly rolls or even use one single fabric (which I’m doing on my next version).
🤎
This is my most SIMPLEST quilt pattern and great place for a beginner to start. Come next year, I’ll have a class on it where we work through the quilt together. From how to read a pattern, to how to choose fabrics (foreground and background) and how to sew it. I plan to do this for several of my quilt patterns.
🤎
Anyway, I’m rambling. I’ve been writing a class on precision and it’s got my juices flowing. Feeling good. Hope you are too. 😘

It’s QAL day! This is round 7 and we have (15) of these 4-patches to make. Blog post is up and emails have gone out. 🙌🏻 I cannot wait to see your quilt tops start coming together. 💃🏻

Well… I won’t tell you I’m happy with it, but I know it’s good enough. AND THAT will just have to be good enough for ME. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ Ignore me, I’ll be over the clunky quilting as soon as I pull it from the wash. These feelings never linger. They happen. I feel them and then I move on. There’s so many more quilts to make… There’s even another #goodgirlquilt to make. 😉
For those asking… I’ve removed the Good Girl pattern from the shop as it’s being rewritten. It is currently available to pre-order in paper format. On November 5, it will be back in the shop in PDF and paper format.
🤎
NOW on to the next…

My background blocks are a little boring this time around as I’m trying something new. Fingers crossed I don’t regret this decision. 🤞🏻 But since I’ve made this quilt so many times, I think it will be good for me. 🤎
