This quilt wasn't even on the radar for this year. When I discovered the drawer with 2.5" and 4.5" strips (cut many years ago), I started sorting them and realized I had almost enough in these 2 colors for a quilt. I think I cut a few new strips to get to a nice number of blocks.
The backing is one of my favorite purple batiks, and I must have gotten it on sale because I had 5 yards of it. The binding is a purple batik irregular stripe. It has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it and was longarm quilted by Robin Diaz. I'll add the measurements later.
It was a beautiful day yesterday, sunny and nice blue sky. The Redbuds are fully blooming ahead of schedule because of so many 80 degrees days in a row. I expect to see a lot of petals on the ground this morning because we were in a severe storm area for several hours last night starting a little after 7. Regular programs were stopped and weather people were on the air for over 3 1/2 hours because there were several tornado watches and warnings. I'll have to catch the shows I normally watch on one of my streaming channels.
Violets are plentiful in the grass this year. They have been in my backyard for many years so I was surprised how many of the white ones showed up in my front garden this year. Last year it was a Lungwort that mysteriously showed up in the front, now this year it is violets. Once again, my nature photo matches the quilt in the post.

I am so glad to hear you made it through the bad weather yesterday unscathed. I was worried about you! Love this new quilt. It’s simple but still creative with fabric choices and placement.
