[Connie H.]

Love your fabrics!

I was away 6 weeks, but got caught up by May 31, just in time for Month 6! I've tentatively chosen vase colors (using my own fabric, mostly Tula Pink) so you see swatches pinned on my design wall (made with 60" wide fleece batting from JoAnn's stapled to top of my 7' bookcases, can be rolled up out of the way when not in use- a Must-Have for this project!!

this is so soothing! soft colors and gray are beautiful!

Happy Memorial Day! I just finished month 5. I rearranged things a bit because I wanted to balance background, color, and vase shape. The diagonal backgrounds are the same fabric, although in this picture the bottom left looks darker…

I think this is a fun quilt….makes me happy to look at it. My blue and yellow block with a sunflower…remembering Ukraine

Shari - Love how you maintained a color scheme but each flower is different. This is definitely a fun quilt!

Pamela, both paper pieced borders were the correct size. Month 2 borders are 33" long, finished, using 11 triangles that are each 3" at the base and 2.5" high. When taping the pages together it is important to measure the paper pattern created to be sure it is 33.5" x 3" including seam allowances. I am sorry you had trouble but you came up with a fine solution. Good job.

Here are my 2 May blocks for what I am calling Garden Party in North Idaho. Hummingbird block is a work in progress, but got the
Cedar Waxwing block done. Having so much fun. HelenW

Pamela, Sure glad we can zoom the photos when we click on them. Otherwise, I would not have seen your embroidery.
Great idea. HelenW

Not sure why the pic does not show the bottom row, but if you open the pic, the whole top is visualized

As you can see I had to make a bit of a correction by adding a 1/2 inch border. In hind sight, I think the paper pieced triangle borders are not the same. Honestly I’m not sure which is correct but I suspect that the second border is the incorrect size. I find this interesting as I thought that the process was so much easier than the first.
If you enlarge the pic you will also see that I have added some embroidery to the baskets. I was going for symbols of peace, love, rock & roll & justice. The heart for ‘love’ is not quite complete in the pic.
