I felt like getting going pretty early yesterday and after spiffing up the house, I headed into the studio! I have several Fat Quarter Club kits to catch-up on and so I set to work!
I really liked the recent post by AliciaQuilts and thought this would work out well. The pieces went together easily and so it was a perfect choice for me!
So I only had 5 fat quarters which yielded a very large table runner at 36" x 60" OR
I could make a larger lap quilt but I was short these 4 blocks!
I think I am going with this version and will go to my local quilt shop to buy a few more FQ's to fill in the blanks!
I also have these fabrics I bought last year during the Shop Hop to make a QOV quilt using the same pattern or if I feel ambitious,
I might make the quilt in the magazine in the back left of the photo which I have had earmarked for a quite a while now!
When I was done with all of the up and down of sewing,
ironing and playing on the design wall,
I headed outside to give a good sniff to the tree crinum
because it is an extraordinarily wonderous whiff!
I finished my little bit of a walk by going around the house and enjoyed the Shasta daisies,
and the Mandavilla blooms.
And then it was time for a rest!
Nice work on the blocks! I just bought some daisies yesterday. I put them in a pot on the front porch hoping to keep them safe from the deer. I haven't been out front to check on them yet so I hope they are still there.
ReplyDeleteNice to read that you have the energy to be up and in the studio! Gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant quilting. Just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI really like the red, white, and blue quilt - whichever way you decide to go with it! Beautiful flowers in your yard!! Blessings!!

Nice!
ReplyDeleteMy shasta daisies should pop next month. Right now i'm waiting on the peonies! They are taunting me by not opening yet!
Looks like you are on a roll. It's gotten super hot here so definitely need to make use of indoor time by doing a whole lot of spiffing up around here. My outdoor plants are suffering a lot already and summer has just started. :/
ReplyDeleteGood call on the quilt; that’s a very pleasing pattern. Beautiful flowers! -Marsel
ReplyDeleteLove the RWB! And adore that quilt in the magazine. I can see why you have it marked.
