A new project
I started a new quilt project today, Summer Flowers.
This quilt pic was my starting point. I can't find where the photo was originally from, I've had it saved in my Ideas folder for quite a while:
My color inspiration, some vivid zinnias.
I gathered up a few scraps to get started, and have plenty more available as needed. I also chose a bright green for my constant/background.
I did try out a test block. The nine base squares were measured, but the green triangles were casually free pieced. Patching on those odd triangles did result in some unexpected angles -- the trick is to cut everything a bit oversized and then trim down to square at the end.

A fun family dinner
Lovely flowers!
Lucci was particularly excited and happy. He was my special guy all evening.
Corned beef and cabbage dinner, a day early due to work schedules.
Leo was having a Terrible Twos evening, couldn't get himself pulled together enough to join us at the table.

Wheel of Fortune
I'm happy to report a quilt completion -- they are few and far between these days!
I finished up my Wheel of Fortune project and I'm pleased with how it turned out. Even though it's scrappy -- quite a few fabrics there! -- I feel like everything came together nicely and I have a good cohesive result. I'll spend the next couple of evenings stitching the binding to the back, and then return to hand quilting my Bramble Blooms quilt.
