More Scraps and Flowers

I'm really enjoying Edyta Sitar's book, Little Handfuls of Scraps. Thanks again, Rachel!

I couldn't resist making this little quilt. It's 12-1/2" x 12-1/2". I try and cut my scraps as soon as I can to prevent overflowing scrap bins so had lots of 1-1/2" x 3" pieces to play with. 

The back.

Then I started another project but instead of making a small quilt I decided to make some blocks.

I've made 4 so far. They are so much fun. I think I'll probably add the same pieced sashing strips in between the blocks for continuity but that could change. It's a great pattern to showcase fabrics especially those large floral prints.  

I plan on donating this little 9-Patch to our guild for the Little Wishes silent auction at next year's show.

The back. An oldie but goodie. 

I love this time of year when the wildflowers are beginning to bloom. Look at the cute faces of this Great-Spurred Violet.

And flowers that look like little bells hanging from the stems of Solomon's Seal.  

There's a large patch of Mayapples near the patio . . . 

. . . with a pretty white flower blooming underneath each "umbrella." 

Indoors I have a Hoya plant which I totally ignore. It has been potbound for at least 15 years and gets watered whenever it looks sad.    

And every year it produces this gorgeous flower :)

Have a great week!
