Eight new blocks were sewn yesterday, these 4 and their duplicates. I went down to press more fabric but ended up trying to put the basement back in order after the water seepage a week ago. I still don't have the design walls up because I need to put clean flannel on them and it takes me a long time to get it done.
This is the assortment of fabrics so far. The duplicates are in a stack on my sewing table. I now have 28 of 36 blocks made. I will need 35 for a 5 x 7 layout so I will be able to eliminate one block, whichever ends up being my least favorite.
The Sun Sugar tomato plant is about 2 feet above the 5' cage now. It still hasn't filled out much. There are several little groups of tomatoes but none have turned color yet.
This is in the late afternoon with the bright sun on the Purple Coneflowers. This is the 3.5' - 4' tall prairie coneflower compared to a lot of the shorter plants available at garden centers.
This has been the best assortment of plants in my backyard hanging planters. The last 2 years I probably didn't keep them watered enough and this year we have had more rain.
More of the Tiger Lily buds have bloomed. I have a larger group of these by the birdfeeders but only one plant has bloomed back there so far.

Oh, how I wish I was close enough to visit and help set your basement to rights. You got a beautiful afternoon photo of your purple one flowers.
The blocks are coming along and looking good! You need some company to help you with covering the design wall board. I have never seen such tall tomato plants! Let's hope you get lots of fruit from them. The tiger lilies are so pretty!
Maybe you need someone like Young Man to hold one edge of the flannel taut while you handle another edge. I have to have help covering mine, too. They’re just too big to cover single handedly. More pretty flowers - that double basket photo is my favorite.
Your blocks are beautiful.The purple coneflowers are stunning. Your garden is an abundance of color. A true inspiration.
Such a lovely flow to your Snails Trail pattern ~ its always a fascinating one to see. Those super tall tomato plants need to be in the Guinea's Book of records. Your flowers in your gardens are a true summer treat.
I have seen many tomato plants in my time, but I have never seen any so tall! How will you pick the tomatoes when they ripen?? Your tiger lilies are taller than any I have ever seen too. They are almost to your roof! You must feed your plants something special! We have a lot of tiger lilies but ours don’t get any taller than four feet. Most are 3 feet tall. What is your secret?
Love your blocks and fabrics used!
wow your tomatoes are tall aren't they I have a couple like that - really tall but those two aren't producing much - no clue why when all the others are.
I love the brown quilt it is really pretty colors
