I worked on this top several times yesterday and finished sewing it together. It is so much prettier in person.
I guess that is because the prints show up when you see it closer.
I think this is my favorite block.
This is where my cacti are residing for the summer. Now that the tree is gone in front of the house they get a little too much sun so when it gets really hot I'll probably have to take them inside and put them back out after 2 p.m. My other option would be to make some kind of cover for the rack early in the day.

I love your stand for your cacti. I tried a yellow scrap starter, but think I made it a little big. I will experiment tomorrow, as we have a day off for the Queen's Birthday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I really love the colours that you've chosen for it.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt top uses some of my favorite colors and I recognize several of the prints, so you know I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the top! Those cactus plants are a lot of work and worry, but they will be beautiful during the winter months.
ReplyDeletePrettier in person? Hard to believe. Well, except I know just how that is.
ReplyDeleteI love the play of soft pink/peach colors here and there: It reminds me of an opal.

you need to get a shelving unit with wheels and then you could just pull it to a shady area when you need to :)
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the picture of the full top and really enjoyed seeing the illusion of depth in this piece. I know that it is gorgeous in person.
ReplyDeleteYour blue 16 patch is beautiful! I can imagine that the picture doesn't do it justice.
ReplyDeleteNice shelves for your plants.
So glad to see the 16sq. done. It reminds me of streams in the High Sierras whose surfaces reflect the sky and the trees around them as they make their way. BooTful:)
ReplyDeletePretty blue batiks in your favorite block.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prints! Love it! I really like that rack you have for your plants--Great idea for the patio. Have a great Sunday--Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteBlue perfection ! What a magical selection of fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYour plants love you for the TLC you give them.

It's a beautiful quilt. There is just something so satisfying about squares! It's good to see all those cacti, too. I know you'll be enjoying them come winter!
ReplyDeleteHow could it possibly be prettier in person? It is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCould you cover the plants with a shade cloth?
I can see how it would be pretty if we could see all the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteNan
The sixteen patch just shimmers!
