Eight more fabrics got pressed yesterday and four new blocks were sewn. Since there are two alike of every combination, I'll just show one of each from now on. I will be able to design one half of the quilt and then repeat the same fabrics for each row for the second half, usually in a different order than the first rows. The basement is warming up since we haven't had a cool spell so ironing the fabrics has to be done in short sessions, in this case 8 fabrics at a time.
As I go around the corner of the house on the way to the backyard I pass the Weigela bush with the red flowers. There are always a few branches of stragglers after all of the rest of the bush is done blooming.
This is the latest start I have had for ripening tomatoes. These are Rutgers which usually ripen after the 4th of July and Early Girl varieties.
These are on the second Rutgers plant.
The Jack be Little pumpkin plants are growing. These are the little decorative pumpkins. I was too late to plant big ones.
The spotty rain showers missed us yesterday and there is a small chance of some rain today. I think I'll be safe setting up my design walls again. I have to put a clean flannel covering on one of them and then tip them upright. It sounds easy but I'm short and the foam 4' x 7' sheets are tall.

snail trail is a fave pattern of mine and i love your blocks and colors you chose
When those tomatoes finally do start turning red, you’ll have a bunch! Those large sheets, while not heavy, are awkward even for those not short….be careful.
Lovely snail trail blocks, Wanda--;))) I tried to keepbusy yesterday and sewed up 4 placemat fronts--just simple cheery fabrics with JR borders...
