OCEAN INSPIRATION

There is a serious mistake in this block.  I elected to leave it and continue on ... the marbled fabric is precious to me and I am working with small amounts of it as well as the others - no room for waste on this one! 

Quilters who plan and chart and predetermine their design and fabric choices are my heroes.  I am always in awe of that kind of meticulous productivity.  Although having tried it, over and over, this is a system that does not work for me.  I get busy - either it happens, or it doesn't.   I cross my fingers and pray to the fiber Gods to make my yardage follow me to the finish!  

This morning's effort is my pet, so far.  I should be out planting the lettuce and onion sets, but this little charmer has me glued to the sewing area.

Truthfully, I have no concept of where this project is headed.  What I do know is that it soothes me and quiets the desire to hop in the car and head for the shore.  As I work, I think ocean thoughts.  I let the sounds and images of my favorite landscape guide me.  I read somewhere recently that if one listed one's three greatest desires, and none of the three conflicted with the others, one could be assured a happy life.  
Think about it.  

Mysotis - everywhere I look - not one area where it was originally planted.  Forget-me-not ...
