The Replacement

 

Not one but TWO trucks arrived at my house on Monday morning. They arrived about 10 AM and spent the next forty minutes disconnecting and removing the old furnace. (It's the beige box in the photo above.)

It was a noisy and messy process. I had already moved my quilts and artwork out of the way. They installed the new furnace, tested it and turned it on. Then they cleaned the mess and left.

WOW! It is SO nice not to have to worry about that now.

While the guys were banging away, I was in the studio assembling the last of the panels I needed for the third Nightingale Quilt. This is N3, and I will start sewing it up later today.

What I have learned from making these is you have to have faith, and lean into your fabrics. Even if the patterns are large (especially if the patterns are large), do not fret if they take up the whole piece and you don't see much of their black background. As Earthmotherwithin wrote: "With the fabric doing all the work, of course it only needs to be simple in construction."

I have said it before, while this quilt LOOKS complicated, it will be one of the easiest things you ever sew together. If you want the tutorial, you can get it here, at my Etsy shop.
