It was the day to turn on the iron yesterday. I took down the Bear Paw blocks and pressed each one and pinned the rows in order. I needed the design wall for the Australian 16 patch blocks. I pressed the stratas and then sliced the segments and sewed one of the 2 blocks from each combination.
Here is a closer view of a portion of it. I will be looking through the fabrics today to figure out which 6 fabrics will make up the last 3 stratas that I need to sew.
I showed buds on 2 of my Amaryllis plants a little over 3 weeks ago. One of them shot up rather quickly but it was skinny and it looks like just 2 flowers on it.
The other one had been sitting there doing nothing and now the bud is fattening up a little and it is little taller. I sure hope this means flowers in my future.
The third plant just has a lot of leaves and it looks like a second little plant on the bulb. I guess I will have to take this one out of the pot and remove all of the dirt and see if it is another bulb that I need to separate from the large bulb. I'll wait until it is the season to take them outside for the summer to do that.
What lovely blocks--[I especially like the dark maroon and pink one]..they all go so well together...

lovely flowers and fabric - the quilt well look great when done
ReplyDeleteI bought more Australian prints at QuiltCon. When I integrated them with the stash I told myself that I need to quit stocking them and begin using them! (Many of the prints have motifs that work well as fussy-cuts.)
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be such a rich looking quilt. Rich in color and texture.

ReplyDeleteAmaryllis blossoms are so pretty… my daughters bloomed twice this time around.

‘Going to be’. NOT ‘going got’…… …. This iPad is always throwing in words and letters, where they don’t belong !
ReplyDeleteAFter staring at a lot of Aboriginal 16 patch blocks recently, it's amazing to me how different your blocks look. It's going to be a stunner!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics in your 16 patch blocks are glorious and look wonderful together.
ReplyDeleteI love your Bear Paw quilt, too!
Hugs!
The 16 patch is showing the Australian fabrics beautifully and always good to enlarge the photo and see the detail of the patterns. Shame about the Amaryllis only having two blooms, a gorgeous scarlet though.
