I never know whether to call these Columbines purple or blue. There used to be a pale pink plant next to it but I don't see it this year.
I have just 2 seams left to sew on the jewel tone 16 patch quilt top.

I didn't realise Aquilegia was part of the Columbine family. My Aquilegia looks like yours, in the bottom photo. I have light pink and a dark purple and both are just finishing with flowering. It's a bank holiday day here today but it's just like every day :)
Just a lovely quilt--one of my favorites...
Lovely columbines--so graceful looking...raining lightly here this Memorial Day...Stay safe

Straight lines are perfect for that quilt! Your garden is looking beautiful.
You are closing in on a finish, Wanda!! I'm ready to do a little happy dance with you.
I love the quilt and the quilting - simple quilting is so often the best and let the piecing shine through. summer is here for sure now I wish it would be less rain and not so humid - I am never happy with the weather it seems.
I have always liked the quilt. Looks gorgeous quilted. Pretty hot and humid here and it wipes me out. I did no planting yesterday, but plan to today.
Looking good. Straight lines are best. The KISS principle. Aquilegia is the name for columbine. I love yous. Columbine is the offucial flower of our part of the world.
Apparently the "natural" color of aquilegia/columbine is purple-red -- I looked it up: https://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/woodland/plants/wild_columbine.htm
I just checked the aquilegia in my flowerbed. One plant is dark purple and the other is the wild purple-red.
........and I like the color-on-black/white quilt!
Love this quilt!
Love that quilt, and I think you're right about the quilting. Simple is so often best! Love seeing your columbines, too. Of course it's tooooo hot here for them.
Straight lines are perfect for this one -- LOVE IT.
How wonderful you have some color in your yard. Mine is still just varied shades of green. I guess I should go and check and see if the marigolds are coming up. I completely forgot that I had tossed down seed! Oops! Love that quilt.
That binding fabric works wonderfully well. Congrats on the finish.
