Hello, Leo. Hello. Looks like you've been busy.
Man, you are cranking them out.
This is a gorgeous quilt. I think it looks almost like, well, courthouse steps.
Look at that. But it doesn't look like courthouse steps, does it?
It looks like little balls. But if you look real close,
here's the center and then here's the courthouse steps going all the way out.
And that's your block right there.
But the way the design is made, it almost looks like brown balls, doesn't it?
Yep.
That is just, it never ceases to amaze me how fabric can play a part in changing a design of a quilt.
And it's gorgeous. It's just gorgeous. I'm going to stand back so you can see it.
This is our friend.
Catherine.
Catherine. Kate.
Or Kate.
We call her Kate.
I mean, going up the side is orange and then yellow,
then green in the center and then yellow and then orange again.
And look at this backing. Couldn't be more perfect.
Just beautiful. Beautiful job.
I think she said it was paper pieced, if I'm not mistaken.
I could be wrong about that.
But cute little borders going up the side.
And done on our Bernina Q24 longarm in?
Let me look on the…
I don't remember.
All right. Hold on.
Ginger.
Ginger. We get our threads from Habandash.
This is, we use glide thread on our Bernina Q24 longarm.
And this is their batting because, right?
Yep.
Yeah. OK.
Windy woods.
Oh, I'm sorry. Yes.
The design, which is hard to tell.
Might be able to tell better on the computer screen.
It's windy woods.
There's pines and leaves and swirls.
Just a perfect…
They're not squirrels or acorns.
Oh, and there's also acorns.
There's no squirrels in there.
Not squirrels. Swirls.
Swirls.
Squirrel.
Let me see if I can find an acorn.
It's got to be around here somewhere.
Here's one right there.
Right. There's an acorn.
Super cute.
Nicely done.
Really nicely done.
Looks fantastic coming off the frame.
And, yeah.
Beautiful fabrics.
Again, what you can do with your scraps.
I mean, these are all different colors of greens
and all different colors of yellow.
And there's cream.
Different oranges.
I mean, just gorgeous quilt.
Simply gorgeous.
Nicely done, Kate and Leo.
