Just about got over the jet lag and so much to tell you about our travels in the Massachusetts & Rhode Island.  But I need a 'mo' to sort through my photos and my memories of all that we saw and did, so in the meantime, I wanted to show you something that I actually took with me and worked on while we were in the US.   You may remember that I was somewhat enamoured with Venice, when we visited in May and came home inspired to make a quilt to encompass all the elements that make up this amazing city - the  wonderful colours, the architecture, the water, the history and the whole aroma of this romantic place.   I raided my stash for fabrics that I thought met this brief and then set about thinking what exactly might such a quilt even look like.
