There was one finish early in the month of May. I used strips that were cut many years ago to make the Double 4 Patch blocks and many orphan blocks in brown/beige/gold joined them for a nice throw quilt. It is 63" x 70".
I completed 2 quilt tops in May. The Kaffe Medallion has been a slow project for several months, and when I finally decided it didn't want any more borders, it was done. It is a wall hanging and measures 48" x 53". When I get to the edge finish, I'm planning on doing a facing instead of binding. The small still life top is not in proportion to the Kaffe top. It is only 1/4 as tall as the medallion top but I left it larger for this collage. It's only 10" x 13".
So what else did I do in May? I had company staying with me for 8 days and then planted my tomato plants, 3 to the raised bed and 5 in pots.
I also planted all of my new porch pots. They are starting to fill out. I think I lost at least one little Begonia on the bottom shelf so I might be out looking for a new one or two.
I also wrote a 4 part tutorial for Trip Around the World. During the time I was composing that I got steroid shots in my SI joints and am finally getting relief from my pain that started 10 months ago. I'm just hoping that the relief lasts a long time.
And lastly, I knitted three dishcloths, the best stress reliever, the most calming thing I do all month.

You had quite a busy month, Wanda, in May.;)))) The little still life is so pretty in that colorwash style...and lots of gardening going on at your place. The front porch pots are looking really great!!
55 here this morning and soon I will be on my way to my 6-month dental appt at 9 am--not my favorite way to start a new month--but needs be!! Hugs, Julierose
Your little color wash is adorable. Eight days with company is, I think, a lot but then it depends on the company ;-) I, too, hope your shot helps with the pain for a long time.
You have a very good month! I am glad your shot is finally starting to work.
Love those double 4 patches. Every time you make them.
Seeing your house reminds me that you discovered it's made of crab orchard stone. I think of you every time I drive through the Crab Orchard community on my way to Devo and Sew quilting group.
Your Medallion is a beauty ~ so full of ‘vim and vigor’. Double patch, Still Life and dish cloths was quite array for May. And your tutorial was a huge job to say the least ~ not to mention all you did outside this past month. Great post for May.
You had a great month! I hope the steroid shot works well for you.
The medallion is among my all-time Wanda Favorites.
I am so glad you are finally getting some relief. Your plants look so fresh and green!
Excellent results! Love that little green dish cloth with the scrubby rows! Sometimes you don't want one made out of all scrubby yarn, or you have leftovers. Yay!
I agree!! The variety in the different borders makes it sing!
