Done but no formal portrait..................


I finished the binding yesterday morning but my design walls in the basement are still on their sides, leaning against a table.  The design wall on the main level isn't quite large enough to display it.  Rain is forecast for today so I'm waiting to see if more water seeps into the basement before I put the walls back in place.



I cut 8 of the blocks for the Snail's Trail quilt and got 6 of them sewn yesterday.   Most of these print fabrics are from the 1990s.





I noticed the first bud has bloomed on the Tiger Lily so went out to take a few photos.










This is the section that is all False Sunflower and Purple Coneflower.  It is just getting started with all of the blooms.





This section was in the shade and the coneflowers are more vivid here.  I had to cut a lot of bindweed off the plants.  It was strangling them and tying them together.




The Hosta bed is partially in the sun but by late afternoon is all shade.






This was my treat last night.








I like to put the colors in rows and I hit the jackpot in this package with all 6 colors.  I'm not so OCD that I need all of the little m insignias turned the same direction.  Do you line yours up too, or just eat them?

Ha! I would have probably ate all those M&Ms in one handful. Congrats on your finish. I'm working on sewing my pieces together on a similar quilt today. It's taking me a bit to get this one done.

I don’t line my M&M’s up put I do group them by color and them eat them from fewest to greatest number. I absolutely love the backing on your MD quilt. Good to wait for the predicted rain to pass before setting up your design walls again.
