UFO: "I'VE NEVER BEEN TO PARIS"

 
This is an older UFO-- a table runner..
It has many scenes from France and
Paris in bits of leftover fabrics...
All layered and ready to be pin basted...
The  3rd OJOS down contains a 
charming French girl cycling...
[click to enlarge]

Here are some of the charming scenes
along the sides:

These are all on either side of the
central blue-ish OJOS

I thought the strip below this scne
 looked like 
watery waves...;)))


A lovely windmill --
Could this be Arles???↑↑

A lovely rural scene...
I really recall enjoying making
 the long side strips
sewn on muslin strips; I began in the
centers and worked up and down
placing the French countryside scenes 
here and there...what fun😊
And
I used up a whole lot of very old
fabric from my early 
quilting
days...
I think this one will be hand quilted:
{with a few vertical and 
horizontal holding 
lines done on the machine}
********************
I still have a whole lot of
smaller project UFO's in 
various stages of finish.

This one called my name 
today and it is ready for
pin basting on my dining table 
sweater blocking mat...
*******************
The sun is actually out 
this morning again--
yesterday it lasted until
noontime and then those
clouds massed in from
over the ocean...
AND
It is 44 degrees...

[SP??? I am forgetting my
French these days with
no one to speak with since
