I know - - I'm an idiot. Like I need more fabric. But I saw a photo on Quiltville Open Studio facebook page yesterday of a finished Kim Diehl design called "Sprigs & Twigs" and I just knew I had to make one. I looked all over online for a quilt kit, because I'm really bad at choosing fabric "on purpose" - I'm more of a fabric "finder" than a "shopper". But first...I had to find the pattern. (Hey - there are some free Kim Diehl pattens on the Henry Glass website!)
I thought I would spend tomorrow running around SW Ontario looking for "Simple Appeal", but started today with a trip to Elmira's "Quilter's Nine Patch" (it's open Sundays, but closed on Mondays). WHOOP! WHOOP! They had the book in stock!
On the way home, Hubby and I stopped in St. Jacob's at Picard's Peanuts briefly, and laid in a small supply of quilting fuel. mmmmmmmm....chocolate!
I've put together my Leader & Ender project: Split Nine Patch. I'm piecing together dark four-patches for borders. I imagine I should have them done by the end of this week. I still haven't decided what I'm going to do with this - - I love it a whole lot!

Hey, remember me? Thought I'd get back into visiting blogs and remembered how much I used to love reading yours. First post back and you sure didn't disappoint! I LOVE that 9-patch inside the log cabin blocks, and a split 9-patch is one of my favorite blocks of all time. Thanks for the eye candy!
