It’s almost like being there

Far West

Today’s block should have been an easy one but somehow I managed to get one row attached upside down. Does it mean I’m improving if I noticed my error before I took a photo? These aren’t the colours the calendar photo used but I couldn’t help but think of our drives “over West” to see how the crops were doing so I added a bit of green.

Did I ever post this photo of a wall hanging I made at our last Thursday group retreat? Today I pieced the backing for it. I generally don’t like a pieced backing but I had strips left from the panels I used on the front so wanted to use them up. If I align everything properly the quilt could almost be reversible (no guarantees on that though). I’m sure no one will notice there are not one, but three, Eiffel Towers on the back.

And here is the real thing. This shot was taken from the plaza across the street from the Tower. You had to be quite a ways back in order to get the whole thing in the photo.
