Mindless stitching

I needed an escape for a while and decided some piecing that required no brain at all would be a comfort. I dug out the kit "Cotton Rainbow" of the Stripper Club Kits collection at

thinking I could at least do some cutting without doing myself any damage. Never one to follow a pattern, I am using a gentle yellow floral background instead of black. The kit didn't have any lime, magenta or turquoise so, of course, I tossed in some of those to make the quilt mine, all mine, bwaaa-ha-ha-ha. (Did I mention I have this hurricane-bruised mentality?) Well, the quilt top is just wonderful, gorgeous, beautiful. The fabrics are very nice, their strip cutting is accurate, the instructions seem to be simple; maybe not simple enough for me but simple nonetheless. The only problem will be knowing when to stop. Take a look at this one, she's so pretty. Polly


That's a gorgeous pattern. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Where can we see it, Polly?

I really like that. I am trying to do mindless things. I don't have your problems, just bad knees that the ortho doctor is trying everything before he replaces them. I can't wait to see pictures of your quilt.

Thank you, Sandy. I needed a giggle. Polly "Sandy Foster" wrote > Well, duh... Sorry about that.

OOOH, that sounds lovely. I can't wait to see it, Polly!! Can't wait to show off what I've been doing lately, but it's under wraps for now.

Polly The quilt is beeeeeeYOUteefull - I love it! Though.... the piecing doesn't look all that "mindless' to me..... lol. Can't wait to see her when she's done.

Glad to oblige, Polly! ;)

WOW Polly.....that is a gem. Hope you don't mind me ordering the kit too. It will be a while before I can get to it but heck....whats a quilter without a few back up projects....lol

I'm in therapy. Quilting and chocolate are cheaper then a psychiatrist.
