Wild rectangles quilt top finished................
I finished sewing this quilt top together last night. It ended up 40.25" x 54.25" so it is a small throw quilt. It will need just one width of fabric for the back which makes me happy.
I saw a black and white bird chasing some other birds away from the bird feeder and wondered what kind it was. Then about a half hour later I saw the red and knew it was a Rose Breasted Grosbeak.
It is so hard to hold the camera still for the extra zoom feature on my camera but this didn't turn out too bad. I thought all of the Grosbeaks had continued on their migration by now.
The Columbines have finally opened and are so pretty. These are pale pink, almost white.
The blue ones are right beside the pink ones. In the background you can see I finally got some hanging baskets for the backyard. I also got some tomato plants. I'm really late getting them in this year but we have had so much rain and cold weather. The insurance adjuster came after lunch and looked at my roof. He was turning in a hail damage report but because my damage isn't severe he said it may not be approved so it is a wait and see thing now. If I were selling my house right now new buyers would ask for a new roof because there is obvious damage so I would really like an insurance settlement.
The quilt reminds me of a woven rag rug that my neighbor used to make. I love the stripey fabric on the top and bottom. Columbines are beautiful. Maybe you can get a second opinion on the roof to submit.
Yes - you sold me on your lovely 'scrappy' effect quilt. Your blue Columbines look like my Aquilegia - a very pretty flower, maybe from the same family :)
"Wild Rectangles" great name for this quilt top. Even though it's wild, it sure is a sensational quilt top.
I just LOVE your blue columbine, I have several of the dainty pink ones too. Yours are way ahead of mine. I too have a grosbeak straggler or two that couldn't keep up with the rest of the flock. (^._,^)
After years of self-seeding, my columbines are now mostly pale pinks. The blues and purples are gone and the plants are much smaller. Time to invigorate them with some new starts. Your "wild" quilt top gives me an idea for a baby quilt I must start. Pat

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you with the insurance settlement. Beautiful columbines, a real classic for the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt top turned out great! I don't have any flowers in my gardens since the bulbs are done. I did see buds on my Shasta daisies though.
