Soothing Squares


I am pretty sure that this is one of my favorite quilts so far. I cannot decide if it is because of the colors and simplicity or if it is mainly the stipple quilting. The colors are captured very poorly in these pictures, but you get the idea. I repeated some of the pattern on the back--which turned out really well. I think it is my best "patterned" back so far.
Here is a little side note: if you look at the photo above which shows the back, at the top you can see two paving bricks which are holding the quilt for the photo. Actually you will see them in many of my pictures like this. The crazy part is this: I don't think it is ever the same bricks. I always leave them neatly on top of the block wall for the next time I photo and then when I come back---they are GONE. It has got to be my kids---why in the world would they feel continually compelled to move those bricks (which they have seen me use numerous times)?!? My other thought is that it could be my husband. He probably has no idea how those bricks keeping moving up to that same spot. I can hear him thinking..."those darn kids, why do they keep leaving bricks over here?" For now, it is a mystery and there is a brick bandit on the loose.
