A quick update - quilts and flowers

A teeny bit of progress with my AdHoc Medallion.

If you read my last post HERE

I was at the stage or working out what my next step would be

with this wall quilt. I had two fellow bloggers,
Sally T at The Objects of Design
and
Wanda S Hanson at Exuberant Color
who sent me their suggestions which were a great help.

I decided on a narrow border and chose this ombre to try and "contain" the central
part of the quilt. Ombre fabrics, which I think may feature more in my quilts, were used in my earlier
quilt top "Northern Lights" shown below,

So folks all I have to show as I link up with the AdHoc Improv Quilters

are strips of fabric 1 and 3/4" wide!!!

But here's a peek at two of my favourite blooms out at the moment and

yes, they are very much in the pastel range, not like my quilts!

 Hibiscus

Camellia

That's all for now!

Bits and Pieces

Pretty slow going again at my place thanks to a very affectionate little creature

who now loves to come on my lap and rub noses whilst I try and sew!!

So, amazing progress with Tallulah but not so much with the quilting.

I have just done a little on three projects, one of them a very, very little.

Rainbow Safari for 5yr old grandson, very simple 8" fussy cut square

surrounded by 2 and 1/2" strips - I have stacks of lovely bright Kona

jelly rolls to use for these

Began again with the kaleidoscope project

this time combining batiks and  KF collective fabrics, 2 and1/2" wide.

Just a few segments being played with on the wall

but I just had to do a little bit of matching up here and there

 and now I can't wait to get busy cutting more!

My AdHoc Improv Medallion and progress with the other

two side borders, I didn't measure these pieces just cut freehand and when I

 and had roughly the correct fit I chopped the rest off - very therapeutic.

 The light was fading so quickly when I took this,  one border wasn't sewn down and

you can see there are still plenty of dangling threads to tidy up. In fact it's not even

placed squarely on the wall - blame Tallulah! 

Hope I can make a little more time for quilting tomorrow, fingers crossed!!
