First of all, I want to say THANK YOU. To all the readers of my blog and the ones I follow and read every day, THANK YOU. It is a crazy, sad world. I know bloggers who are generous with compliments, resources, fabrics, and more. You are so precious to me, even though most of you I have not met. I am so grateful for you. We all have struggles and heartaches. Quilts bridge the gap and I am so grateful I am a quilter and my comfort quilts find recipients who just eat them up. Thank you for friendship and caring.
After finishing all eight sets of 6 blocks each for the Upstairs, Downstairs quilt (which A Left Handed Quilter addicted me to), I stared at them and then thought about which set should be the center and contemplated placement. All the blocks were pinned up on the diagonal in the order I was thinking. What? It looked perfect to me. I shot a couple photos of it and still I thought it was working.
The next day, I lit the wall with my photo lights, and still I did not believe anything could be moved to improve it. I felt guilty, like I was cheating, but I numbered the columns and took down the blocks ready to web when I have a chunk of time.

GOOD JOB, Linda! I LOVE your layout - I like how the yellows go across the main diagonal and then stair-step in the section below. And thanks for the shout-out! I'm addicted to that pattern, too - it's a simple formula and works every time! - ;))
It is gorgeous. I love the variety and richness of color in it.
It is gorgeous Linda. I really love the layout.
i think you nailed it - the colors are so pretty and the move just perfectly!!!
I am glad you are my friend too!!!
SEW pretty, Linda!!!
Who would have believed that some day we could be in contact with quilters all over the world and converse with them via email?
Your quilt layout is perfect, so energetic!
OMG, this is spectacular!
The layout looks great to me. Sometimes it happens the first time.
Your opening paragraph really struck a chord with me Linda, what you have to say is so very true of a great many of us and thank goodness that we are all able to share parts of our life with each other alongside our love for quilts and the making of them. Upstairs, Downstairs is looking magical, love the squares of yellow/green in the mix.
amen on that note.....So grateful in this crazy time to have friends like you so far away, yet so close. Your quilt is wonderful xoxo
