The Supporting CastI'm getting ready to start doing some Fall decorating (it's time to take down the patriotic stuff - LOL) and decided it might be a good idea to quilt another flimsey from the pile. I'm very disappointed in my quilting decision - I was rushing and thought "oh I'll just put some loops all over this one and it'll be fine" - wrong! I agonized about whether or not I should sit and rip out the stitches and then decided that every quilt can't be a Super Star and have it's name in lights - there must a Supporting Cast. This one will have a 'bit part' and not even be mentioned in the credits. LOL I've come to terms with it and decided that it will look great folded with other Fall quilts. The best part - it's out of the pile of flimsies - that's a really good thing. :-) Now I must find the binding and call it DONE.
I had a wonderful surprise phone call yesterday - Angie called! We chatted; we laughed; we chatted; we laughed................................ We are so much alike it's a bit scary. You must go visit her blog and check out her wonderful Fall projects.
Thanks for visiting, I appreciate that you do. Come again soon!
In Friendship!

Oh Darlene...I would be VERY happy if I could do something as simple as your "make do" circles. Can I come to your house for lessons???
I'll pop over to see Angie now.
Hugs
I really like that quilt! What were you unhappy with? You know what? You can just send it to ME! ROFLOL!
Okay, I see absolutely no problem with it! At all! It's flat and evenly quilted, even beautifully quilted! Girl, you're too hard on yourself! It IS a piano!!
Darlene,
Your book from leannes house came i willbe shippping it out to day. Thank you Donna
Your quilt is great! And it;s finished.
I like the quilt. Quilted and ready to use is much better than sitting in a pile of need-to-bes. Remember Ronald Regan was a "B" actor and look where he ended up.
Darlene I think it's wonderful. If you think that's bad I'll send you all my quilt tops to do....
From what I see you have another winner there. You make the loveliest quilts.......
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....I don't see anything wrong with it. I really like it!
I think you are too hard on yourself. The quilting looks nice.
Supporting cast or not it is wonderful! Don't be so hard on yourself.
I actually really like the loopy quilting for this. . . with the fall colors on the quilt. . . it reminds me of a fall wind blowing around fall leaves. . . just right! (But I do understand. . . I'm overly picky about my own quilts. . . I usually want to change something. . . But I'm learning to just appreciate the 'personality' of each quilt. . .
. . . now if we culd just get the cooler weather to go with the fall quilts!
xo, - Bren
Your fall colored quilt is beautiful!!! I love the borders!
I like that quilt. I think the quilting is fine on it. If you don't want to send it to Kim, you can send it to me.
Oh girlfriend, that quilt is so BAD you should just box that puppy up and ship her on to TN...you already have snail mail addy close by! :D I LOVE IT!!! oh I do I do!! And the colors ...those fabrics are just luscious! What line are they? Do tell, girl! LOL And I love what From Little Acorns said about the quilting...I agree completely! Lovely, Dazy Girl!:D
I think it looks great! One more down....how many to go?? :D
Darlene, it's just lovely and definitely deserves a starring role.
*hugs*

I agree with Kim - I see no problem with that quilt, either! It's gorgeous!! If you don't want to send it to her, it's MINE! LOLOL!!!
Well looks like I got here to late to say Dibbies! I LIKE that quilt, its great! Beautiful colors.
Looks great from here! And that's such a good term--Supporting Cast! I agonized a lot this summer with those same issues! LOL Like all my quilts are going to be heirlooms! HA!
At least they're very nice loops! I love autumn quilts - hard to believe it's that time of year again but I've been loving our weather.
I love it! The quilting looks fantastic, definetley a "star" quilt!!
Oh yes - I love decorating for fall - the colors and tones are so warm and such a great contrast to the brightness of summer.
Bummer about your quilting - another reason that I only machine quilt straight line.
I LOVE your quilt -- you can send it to my house anytime!!
Your may not consider this a 'star' quilt - but I think it is lovely! Gorgeous fall colours, simple and effective setting, very competent quilting. Don't be too hard on it (or yourself) :)
The quilt looks lovely from here - and the quilting does too!
Very pretty border on that quilt!
Darlene, it is absolutely perfect! Please don't hide it away all folded up. I'd be happy to let it have a starring role at my house. LOL! You did a wonderful job, be proud of it!
I love that Fall quilt and in my book it's a SUPER STAR:-)!
ummmm I must run a Home for Supporting Casts :) love your quilts. I know why you blog - just like me, and 6 degrees separation...Angie is one of my favourite blog reads.
Um, since those loops are better than my best at machine quilting -- I'm just going to say congrats on the finish! I love that border!
This is such a beautiful quilt - it definitely would be the superstar in my quilt collection!
