A new project

I started a new quilt project today, Summer Flowers.

This quilt pic was my starting point.  I couldn't find where the photo was originally from -- it's been 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.

Yes, this is a go! Looking forward to a bright summer garden!
