Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

It wasn’t planned this way, but it just so happens that I am working on a green project today!

Lots and lots of green four patches are in the making!

Traffic Jam

I am making Pat Sloan’s Traffic Jam pattern, and using up my green scraps.  Anything green goes!

Quilt On!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

May good luck be with you Wherever you go, and your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.

May your days be many and your troubles be few, May all God’s blessings descend upon you, May peace be within you, May your heart be strong, May you find what you’re seeking wherever you roam.

May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been
the foresight to know where you’re going
and the insight to know when you’re going too far.

 

Floral Reflections Update

My version of the Floral Reflections pattern now has borders and has become a flimsy!

I am so happy to have another very old UFO make it to this stage!

It is approximately 58″ x 72″.

My corner squares are not crooked; it is simply the way the flimsy is hanging that makes them look as if they are not straight.

I do, however, have points cut off from the nine patches in the borders.  Oops!

But they are consistent, and I am okay with that!

Floral Reflections Update

I have made more progress on the Quilt Nouveau Designs pattern, ‘Floral Reflections’, by Binky.

The yellow appliques are now stitched to the background fabric.

I have also squared up my blocks to 12 inches.  They are .5″ larger than the pattern called for.  Rather than squaring to 11.5″, I have decided to adjust the borders when I am ready to work with them.

The blocks are set with sashing and squares, so working on borders will be next!
