Put the top together yesterday.  It looks so barren and sparse.  I am not looking forward to preping all the petals.  Bought some backing fabric for the simple pleasures quilt. I sent a note to Beth Farrier about finishing it.  I really want to be done with the pumpkins.  started the hand quilting in march, it did sit for a while in the summer, but I really started going in July. I like the drape of it, hopefully it will hang nicely, bamboo batting.
