What can I say ... er ... sing here?
"Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener,
that is what I'd really like to be.
For if I was an Oscar Mayer wiener,
everyone would be in love with me."
Enough already ...

Really?
Woke up to this, this morning.
Picture is identical to some I took in February and March.
"Deja Vu all over again!"
As "they" say ~~~ April showers bring May flowers ~~~
Here's hoping "they" are correct!

What was I thinking?
Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire! While perusing a quilting catalogue I found a "most excellent" pattern ... title more than block layout caught my eye. So I ordered it!
Upon receiving I opened up the pattern ... to 14 sheets of newspaper "foundation paper piecing" print ... each measuring no less than 22 x 32 inches! I knew when I ordered it that it would be paper piece-ing (which I am comfortable with) ... I just did not envision it being so --- detailed and elaborate. The instructions are in a 12 page pamphlet. Designer r-e-a-l-l-y goes into great detail. Which is nice ... spelled out very clearly, and maybe a little more info than my tiny little brain needs ... too many words? Overkill?
Reality has set in. I will need to think long and hard about how I will want to approach this project. While the quilt will only measure 60x66 when finished ... the "Maple Leaf" took me 33 years to complete! Just saying. This pattern looks to be a little more labor intensive and mentally challenging. So, if I decide to do two (as I have "2 baby sisters") what will that time frame be?
Hm-m-m-m-m ... I'm gona have to really think this one through!

Latest "challenge"
This has been an "interesting" project. I was way out of my comfort zone on this one. New technique, etc.
