This AM I got up bright and early. Hubby and I had a "project" that was going to take most of the day. He got up not feeling 100% and went back to bed. Whilst I waited for him to get up, I put the inner and outer borders on this quilt, Northern Comfort. It is in Scrap Bag Sensations by Kim Brackett. I added another row on the top and bottom in addition to what is shown in the book. I have measurements, but I left them downstairs!
I am selling a kit of this pattern to my friend A, in Australia. Here is a close-up of the inner and outer border prints for her. A brightish green tone-on-tone for the inner and a tiny flowers on a black background for the outer:
I also put some time into a Bricks in the Barnyard for a friend from church. He picked out the pattern. As I look at the small stack of squares and rectangles, it is hard to imagine that they comprise a whole large quilt top. But indeed they do. I have some more rectangles to cut out for the braid border, but that comes last anyway. I'll piece the center blocks and use the border for a leader/ender in the meantime.
I used the same pattern to make a baby quilt for my daughter's sister-in-law. Just used fewer blocks. Here is the baby quilt, then the piles and box of pieces.

Very smart, Joan.
'hope DH is feeling better.
Ooops. I don't think I signed the previous.

Your book appears to be open at the Quiltville Barnyard. I prefer your plain light blocks to the one shown in the book and on the www. As usual, beautifully "crisp".
Hugs. Audrey
