It's the "rules" that come from without that I have trouble with! Lol. You go!! Can't wait to see what you do next. :)jane dávilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01154488051571156643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-10821186538159437242017-01-20T02:54:13.032-05:002017-01-20T02:54:13.032-05:00Hi Sara ....

A thought that came to my mind is something Ceasar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) frequently talks about and uses when training dogs: "Rules, Boundaries, and Limitations." Using those three techniques doesn't impose upon or harm the dogs being trained; rather it allows the dogs to grow within those (for lack of a better word...) boundaries. <br /> Great quilt, and great execution of it ! ! !

It could even relate to typography, grammar, the act of quoting ... .

There are way tooooo many! Your boundaries quilt is probably one of my favorites that you have done.

Limiting our choices mean that we concentrate on the design. Sometimes all the fabric I have just creates in me a feeling of chaos. A simple but very effective quilt is yours this time. Good work!
