Gotta Love It ...

... When a Plan Comes Together

Yesterday I finished the center of Smith Mountain morning, a quilt I started several years ago in a class with Bonnie Hunter.


Bonnie chose that name for her quilt when she was teaching at Smith Mountain Lake, which is in Virginia.

Now, take a look at the fabric I plan to use for the borders.


OK, so it's from the West Virginia shop hop a few years back (see the lighter blue WV shapes?), but WV was a part of VA at one point, right? And all the words are applicable to VA as well as WV.

I only have a yard of it. However, I gave a yard to a friend and she is willing to share the extra 10" I need.  Stay tuned.

Linking up with Angela at soscrappy for Scrap Happy Saturday.
