I decided on the 2 tone dark blue Aboriginal Dots fabric for the cornerstones and got the first 8 blocks sewn with left and top strips. I tried overlapping them on the design wall by 1/4" so the strips would look closer to their finished size. Now I need to count the dark squares in the stack and see how many more I need to sew.
Here are the little pink Begonias I planted on Monday afternoon. I'm not sure where they are going to go yet so they are hanging out on the edge of the driveway.
This one must have had 2 plants in its little pot because there is both pink and white.
I'm still working on pop-up shop items for the shop that will open next week. If you want a 24 hour head start on purchasing (or just to have fun looking at the offerings) you need to be on my email list - form to fill in is on the right side bar. If you have already signed up you don't need to sign up again. If you have changed your email address since you signed up you will want to sign up again. We will only ship to US addresses again this time. If you are reading on your phone you don't see my sidebar so here is a link to the email sign up form.
I love the way your colors always look so great together. And the cornerstones and sashing are perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric you chose and how well it works in the design. I often put little plants in pots and let them grow up before planting them as it gives them a better chance to dig in.
ReplyDeletePink begonias are one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning ~ sashing and cornerstones give this piece grandeur elegance !
ReplyDeleteOmg Wanda, begonias galore, as if you didn’t have enough to do with all your projects going on, your gardening continues.

I love your choices for cornerstone and the shark's teeth!
ReplyDeleteI really like the combo of the blue Aboriginal dots with the blue sharks teeth. And the blue is perfect for this.... more so than black would be.
ReplyDeleteThe blue dots are perfect for the cornerstones. The begonias will be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbout 2 or 3 years ago I bought a flimsy from a pop-up shop. All Kaffee fabrics - much red, purples, pinks... It took a while but it is complete with more KF fabrics: backing and binding. I love it and am sleeping under it now. So thank you Wanda for this beautiful creation.
