Thought of a name for "that other project".  Have no idea the completed design so decided to name it "On A Whim" - that provides poetic license!

Picture I saw that reminded me I had "that" room divider pattern somewhere in my files. I then thought I could make a quilt from that room divider pattern - googled the internet and found THE magazine! 1967-2011 Wonder when the quilt will be made? But it is on the list to start on and probably soon!
(I hope these posts will be in the order I want to show the story - if not please look at the pictures from the bottom up!)
