Sewn, not pressed...........

The last 4 seams are sewn but it was too late to take it to the ironing table.  That is today's job.

I knew I had a box with black and white 6.5" squares in it somewhere.  I found it yesterday.  It's hard to see here but there are 4 stacks of 10 squares and 3 extra of the white design on the top, 43 total.  In the box with the yardage there were some partial width of fabric strips that are 6.5" wide so I can cut some more squares.  I am thinking about making a quilt of all squares alternating light and dark.  I'll make up my mind for sure when I start cutting the fabrics for the other 3 quilts.  I also found a pile of 5" strips.  I think I might have cut them to use with one of my accuquilt dies but I sure don't remember which one I had in mind.

In the box under the b&w squares were an assortment of colors of batiks, also 6.5" squares.  134 of them.

I'm going to declare this orange cactus bloom as the very last one of the fall/winter/spring season of blooming.  I don't see any more buds on any of my 15 plants.

My Forsythia bush in the back yard is a scrawny thing.  I think it is going to get severely trimmed when it gets warm enough to work outside.  There is a volunteer started from this bush that I'm going to dig out because it is right in front of the kitchen window.

In the back garden between rows of Peonies there is a row of Jonquils.  It will be awhile before I see buds on them.
