Yesterday was a wonderful family day. One of my brothers and my cousin had not seen each other since 1987. After everyone left I made 9 more blocks.
This is all 22 blocks sewn so far. I was too lazy to go downstairs to a design wall with them.
I have 14 duplicate blocks cut and ready to sew. I have been thinking about only having one of each block in this quilt which means I am making 2 quilts. I'll know when I start putting the blocks up on the design wall. I have 3 large bins of floral fabrics to work with if I want more variety.
It's nice to have the family reunions. I just booked a trip to Ontario to go to my nieces wedding and visit with two aunts. One I haven't seen since I was a little girl. I'm nervous about all the flying details and transferring in Montreal as I've kept pretty close to home since becoming ill a few years ago. It will be very rewarding though. I love those blocks!
The pairs of blocks are just luscious combinations. I could just look at each block separately, can't wait until I see them all together. Glad your family had such a positive memorable time. How can you call yourself lazy? You do so much everyday! Linda
I always love the color selections you make for your blocks. Glad you have been able to have some family days. I did that yesterday too and had some good chats with brothers and sisters that I normally only see once a year or so.
I hope you show us all of the quilts you have done in this series when you are all done-I have lost tract. Lovely as usual-you are really busting that stash!
Happy for you that you had a nice visit with family. And then the master gets back to work. I think about Monet's paintings when I look at you wonderful pile of blocks; Dreams and the other garden paintings.
It all looks good to me. Wish I had room for a design wall. I use the floor or a top of a bed. It all works. Have fun designing. Chris
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what happens to these blocks. Gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteBatiks and floral fabrics just seem to go together.
ReplyDeleteI had not thought of mixing batiks and floral fabrics together. What a beautiful result!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing with all you do.
ReplyDeleteReally like your combinations. Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS colors . . . no matter what you do with them. They're beautiful!

ReplyDeleteReunion's always feel good especially at our age. Good to hear you all had a good time.
ReplyDeleteSo enjoy the blocks you are working on now. They all have such an "exuberant" summer feel.

The florals and batiks were meant to go together - that is going to be a fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks just look like a lovely cottage garden in bloom Wanda, it's a delight.
ReplyDeleteYou have some of the prettiest floral fabric I have seen! I love the way you put your colors together. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteFamily time is always fun. Lots of laughter and memories!
