Top sewn.............

The top is sewn.  There are a lot of pieces on the bias on the edge so I staystitched it to keep it from stretching.

A recap in case you haven't been following my progress on this quilt top:  all Keiko Goke Japanese fabrics, cut with Strips 'n Curves templates sets 1 and 2.
Here are 2 small pots that sit in front of the garage door.  I don't use this side of the garage for a car so the pots aren't in the way.  The pink flowers were on clearance so I had to rescue them.

The art quilters are coming today.  The cookies are baked, the basement is clean.

The top is a perfect arrangement of all those fabrics! My flower boxes and pots are growing, but we are in a drought/heat situation here and I have to water constantly. I have to get out and take some photos! Can't wait until I see what is next for your!

I tried S&C piecing years ago, but rejected it because I found the strips too "busy"..................but your use of the templates with that fabric collection is inspiring. I only own the mini set of templates, but guess I'm going to have to get them out. Maybe those Marcia Derse fabrics???? I appreciate your grouping (over there on the right) of all S&C blog entries: makes it much easier to revisit the constructions and design changes!!!!!

The top turned out great! There is a lot of movement! I still can't see if any of my seeds are coming up, but the canna have grown a bit.

The quilt top is fantastic, just beautiful to look at. I could never have that vision of making a quilt like you do. You truly are an artist.

I'm loving your quilt so far. Enjoy your time with the quilters, cookies and a clean basement :) I'm not sure what the pink flowers are but in the other pot are Coleus I've only had them as indoor plants in the past.

What a spectacular quilt top, Wanda! I love how your blacks, grays and blues set off the fiery reds and oranges. This will be gorgeous when it's a finished quilt (it is gorgeous ALREADY!).
