After going through over 150 purple fabrics I found 4 to cut and try in this floral colorwash. I did some rearranging in the brown/rust/red area and think I have done the best I can for a smooth transition. Now I will sew it.
I removed a quilt top from this double design wall so I put the friendship star blocks there. The last 5 blocks are mostly duplicates to these so I might not have to do much rearranging.
I picked a small bouquet and it shared the windowsill with some newly potted cactus starts. They are the ones that have been in a cup with an occasional drink of water for about 3 or 4 years. So far I only see one that might not make it. The bigger cactus is one that has been looking a little sick and I thought maybe being near the sink (and extra moisture in the air) might perk it up.
Pretty orange cupped daffs!! I have a couple of those near my front rock--it's hard to pick a favorite variety, isn't it? they are all so pretty...
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts in progress...the colorwash is spectacular--80 purples??? yikes--you are a model of patience...

Great colorwash and daffodils. All the colors are so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed a close up study of your new colorwash. So many adorable prints! I saw two prints with words and didn't remember you using those before. Beautiful daffodils too. The last of ours are blooming and I will need to get out today for a bouquet. It's a perfect spring morning to do just that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers to brighten your windowsill - I do wish daffodils lasted longer each spring.
ReplyDeleteYour Colorwash quilts are SEW amazing, Wanda! This one is no exception.
ReplyDeleteA friend gave me a cutting, with the roots attached, of a Christmas cactus and never having one I am unsure as to how to care for it. I planted it in some cactus soil but how often/when do I need to water it and what kind of light does it require? Yours are so beautiful from year to year so thought you would be the one to ask.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean
Nice Sunday post Wanda . It will be fun to see which one takes priority .
ReplyDeleteDaffodils another spring blossom that makes us smile.

My daffodils are done already for the season. I don't have any of the ones with the orange centers. They are really pretty! 150 purples in your stash? Wow! I probably have 10 at the most. The colorwash is beautiful!
