lotta's almost done xo



zoom zoom ~ lotta is all pieced and i got the first two row done ...

i had great intentions of straight line grid quilting but HONEYCOMB by dave hudson wooed me over at the last minute...and i am completely happy with my choice xoxo

then a late night trip to  pacific fabric for the PERFECT binding that i of coarse did not have enough of...i had such good intentions to use what i had ...
BUT nothing satisfied me like this wide stripe xoxo
