Made a start on my latest project but not using the solids in sunshine colours shown in my last post.
My 'strip collection' I am hiding because it's overflowing on my cutting table, but this is my progress so far
I haven't chopped off the corner of the first strip - it's just not laying flat right now. Three more panels to sew and I'm loving making this quilt, a wall quilt really as it will be 60" square and yes, I did state with regard to Across the Fields that I didn't care for square quilts, but this one is the exception! This pattern is Roundabout.
Apart from the above photo I have just two garden photos as I'm in the midst, once again, of re-arranging drawers, project tubs and generally making my sewing room easier to deal with, seems a never ending task.
Who has a Daphne bush in their garden? They're not the brightest flower in the garden but the scent is unbelievable, I have two presently, and what a delicious way to spend a few minutes sitting by the side breathing in the sweet scent.
If I want bright here is the abutilon, common name Chinese Lantern
All from me for the moment, have a happy week ahead.

Lovely brights, they will make any day sparkle. Lovely to chat, one day I will manage to fly up and we actually meet in reality. Meantime, I can use Josh's word " Vicariously" to see your fabrics and garden beauties.
I'm glad to see you are still busy in the sewing studio. Square quilts on the wall are great, around or over a body not so great. I like square baby quilts too.
Very pretty KF strips, Maureen;))) they should make a lovely quilt...
The Chinese Lantern bloom is such a beautiful color.
Hugs, Julierose
Ooooh - those colors are glorious - what a terrific wall quilt that will become. I don't think I've ever encountered a Daphne bush. Love the color of the abutilon.
I love the fabrics you're using. You always use such great colors! Beautiful flowers too!
I love your beautiful colors! It will come out great!
I planted a dwarf Daphne a few years ago, but the deer (or rabbits) wouldn't leave it alone and it didn't survive it's first year. This is an interesting looking project. I don't remember you writing about it before. Did I read in a comment you posted on someone's blog that you were involved in a hit-and-run accident? I hope you were not injured and that that car damage was not severe.
As always, such luscious fabrics. Fussy cutting the 3rd from the bottom adds a lots of depth with the "striped" one near the top. You have a good eye. Stay well.
Delightful selection of fabrics Maureen.
