on the bright side.

It has been so stinking hot lately.  
Hades Hot!
However ... looking on the brighter side of matters ... a few days of being stuck indoors has it's perks.  
I unwrapped the Ruby jelly roll and cut blocks for my beloved Shortcake quilt.  I am over the moon with this fabric.  It has been a delight cutting each piece and I can hardly wait for it to all come together.
These delicious tiny polka dots will become the scrappy binding.  
I am in *love* with Debbie's binding on her American Cottage quilt and her Daydream quilt.  And so I thought I would give a try as well.
Thank you for the kindest of words regarding my new to me sewing room.  Your sweet comments bless me beyond words.

    I love the way you take lemons(the heat) and make lemonade(staying inside and sewing).
    You have again picked colors that I love for your quilt. I think because they are so cheery!
    I'll be back to see the finished product.
