Sajou, Part 1

It's time again for Lori's (Humble Quilts) little fall quiltalong, and I think this is going to be much fun!  So much so that mid-afternoon today I stopped working on my October OMG and dug out a bin of fabrics I hoped would work.  Though Lori has made her version using an assortment of French General fabrics, I knew there were precious few in my stash, so out came a bin of leftovers from my French Country Strippy quilt (still in the hand quilting process).

And look what I found for the center 'medallion' - a Jinny Beyer print from 2006 that has been waiting patiently in my stash ever since!

Isn't it fun finding a hoarded much loved fabric that has been pining away in the totes forever?  The featherweight was set up on the dining room table again and the first block was completed in one evening. 

Can't wait for the next installment!  And I'd wager you will see that focus fabric again before this little quilt is declared a finish.
