First quilt top for June 2024


Now all of the seams are sewn and it is officially a quilt top.  It is 40" x 60".  All fabrics are Kaffe collective.  All it needs now is its staystitching around all sides.











Here is a reminder of the pattern which was a larger quilt.  It calls for a jelly roll but I don't buy them so this quilt came from my stash of rotary cut strips.







This is the freebie plant from my local garden center last year.  It had about 6 leaves on it when I got it.  It was in a pot last year and in the fall I planted it in a space where I had removed a Hosta.







It has lots of buds.  It had more than one color flower on it last year.  I forgot to check and see if it was 2 plants planted together last fall so it will be a surprise this year what I get.







The Veronica a/k/a Spike Speedwell is starting to bloom.  I used to have one in the back garden and it was tall and floppy,  I think maybe this one is going to be a shorter plant.



I decided to just move my new yellow Columbine to a larger pot instead of putting it in the ground.  I will probably plant it in the fall.

I put a second de-stash post on my wandafulquilts blog.  I didn't get as much sorted as I wanted to yesterday.  I had to clean out an area for a plumber to come and fix a problem.

The top turned out so pretty! My coneflowers are starting to bloom too. It is so fun to go for a walk around the yard and see what is blooming.

I like the precision of this quilt top and my oh my, your fabrics are always so fun to see the combinations, you create.

Oh how I love columbines, never have seen a yellow one. Mine are now in full bloom~ way behind yours. But we’re always behind the “prairie states”.

That has turned into quite a beautiful quilt top. I had my doubts at first, but you did it again! I am so sorry I missed the crane fabric. I do NOT need it, but it is so pretty.
