It's been a busy week with grandchildren, working on my Rail Fence quilt for the Quiltalong at
Cultural Fusion Quilts
and working out which fabrics in my stash I'm going to hang on to and which
Cultural Fusion Quilts
and working out which fabrics in my stash I'm going to hang on to and which
can find a new home, I desperately need to cull!
I have been able to get 6 Scrappy Mountain blocks together
in black!
Notice the pukekos - they are contrary little creatures and
do things a little differently to what we would expect!
Hopefully I can get out in the garden for a little while late afternoon,
it's a beautiful Spring day even though Spring doesn't officially
hit us until September 1st. Daffodils are blooming, bluebells budding up, camellias
full of flowers and yesterday we bought super size punnets of viola and stock from the
garden centre nearby, the stock plants are just in flower and the scent is heavenly, I've
planted them by the path to the front entrance.
I love this time of the year!

Your Mountains are fun and beautiful. Ah, spring! We're looking forward to autumn around here. We need the cooler, wetter weather to help us gain control over the wildfires that have cropped up in our mountains. I never thought I'd be looking forward to the wet and gloomy months of fall and winter in the Pacific Northwest!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks! love the combinations you selected. they look great!
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks Maureen. I am looking forward to Fall here--hoping for some nice easy rainy days...it's like a dust bowl here...I really want to get some mums, but wonder if I'll have to water them an awful lot....hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks I like the Pukeko one best!
ReplyDeleteSpring...amazing! And pukekos are an excellent choice for indigo. And you seem to have them well trained for mountain climbing.
ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job of coordinating the darks and lights, especially in this week's group. Keep up the good work. By the way, my RSC15 post at place 12 works fine. The first one failed. I always enjoy hearing about you seasons. My friend will love hearing about how sweet the stock smells.
ReplyDeleteFun mountains. We are looking forward to autumnal rains here.

ReplyDeleteThese mountain blocks are looking good! I think you have been very clever with the light backgrounds... a nice change from the usual 'low volumes' we see!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks! I'm trying to cull some fabric and scraps that I'll never use, too. Donating them to the guild's scrap box.
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful! Enjoy the Spring while it's there. We're in the hottest part of summer ourselves and am longing for Spring!
ReplyDeleteThey are all fun blocks. I had never heard of pukekos until about a week ago when someone else was talking about pukeko fabric on their blog.
ReplyDeleteWe are moving toward fall here it seems since there has been a drop in temps and blowing winds. Seems a little early. I start my stocks from seed...I do love scented flowers.
I love the contrasts of colours in these, my favourite is the bottom one. Enjoy spring, I think autum is about to hit us!
