my change of heart

I had looked at this pattern quite a bit. I bought one, on sale and then wasn't sure what it was that I didn't like. I couldn't tell if it was the colors, the pattern or that I so seldom make small quilts. I did like the 9 patch so I thought it wouldn't be a total loss. I kept telling myself that I would like it with different colors, although I wasn't convinced. Imagine my surprise to sign up for the class and find out it was this pattern. El was teaching the scalloped borders, so I took great comfort in that. In class, I was disappointed with the fabric I had in my kit.That was ok, if I didn't finish it, or I finish it and give it to my DGD nd let her do whatever with it. Once I started sewing the strips together I almost started to like that fabric. Notice the almost here. I did like the pattern. It is just what we have come to expect from El, simple, and easy, and I like the idea of sing all of the scraps. Yes, if you are considering this pattern, go for it.
