A little cutting................

This is how I started out yesterday morning with the last 5 rows added to what I showed yesterday.  This was started last year and then taken down off the design wall when I had company coming to use the walls.







I cut a lot more pieces and started working them into it.  I have a long way to go yet but I think it looks better already.  I have moved the darkest blue at the bottom down one row and am filling in with more mediums.  I have also worked with the green section.

I worked outside yesterday for awhile until it got too hot.  Now it is predicted to cool off today so I hope to mow the grass this morning.

I keep thinking my Christmas cactus are done blooming but yesterday morning I saw this bloom.






Then I noticed on the next shelf down that this one has 3 buds.

Better......no actually spectacular wall hanging. The glow is just radiant already.

I love to watch the colorwash quilts grow and take shape. It is a pretty hard thing to do and I guess that is why I love seeing it come together. Making harmony out of chaos.

The new medium blues really created a greater sense of depth smoothness to the transition. Your cacti love you!

The quilt and cacti are both beautiful! It got up to 81 here yesterday which is kind of hot for spring! Today the high is only suppose to be 68 which is perfect.

I always loved your colorwash pieces.

Isn't it great to have the cactus still blooming this late in the year? So pretty too.
