Such a happy quilt, I hope you receive much sunshine from it, as that is what it brings to my mind. Balance, a lovely word and it will be of great benefit for you I am sure, to ponder on this for the year.<br />I have chosen most of my 18 projects for my list - I am doing 6 new and 12 old, just to be different. I enjoyed the 17 ufos in 2017 last year and found it helped me focus on getting through the mountain of ufos. LOL. I did surprise myself at what got done, so I'm sure you will find the same happens for you.<br />I wish you a wonderful New Year full of amazing health, gardening and quilting delights that give you great pleasure and balance in your life.

I haven't decided on the word for 2018, I did apply myself to "keep" for 2017, and gave a lot away, donated, or sorted out.

Now your little teapots look like they are sitting on a charming, cozy kitchen table with a pretty tablecloth :) <br /><br />Balance is a great word.

This morning is 13 degrees but thankfully no snow or etc. The teapots look wonderful and I adore the sashing fabric you chose. It moves your eye around and adds to the piece rather than just sitting there. The entire thing is fun and carefree.
