Momsicles Popsicles.

This is it.  I'm finally pulling out Momsicles Popsicles from the hiding place that it went to then end of June.  To catch you all up.  My cousin-in-law Terrece Beesley is an amazing watercolor artist who gave me permission to make a quilt from one of her paintings.   You can actually buy this original painting or a print of it at this website.  

I spent much of June fussy cutting little pieces to represent the colored funnies that are the background of the painting.  I must admit that I can't wait to actually make the popsicle sections, but that will be the reward for all the time spent on the background.  I could have, of course, made it far more abstract...but that's not really me now is it?  I feel so obligated to make an accurate representation.  I have to admit, that stepping away from it in a photo like this does make it feel worthwhile.
     I'm posting it here to be accountable.  I have committed to making this #1 priority for the next 3 days.  If I promise to post progress...I must make some.
