Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt Progression

 

This photo is a little over exposed, but it shows the addition of the green hexagons.  Just about half way there for the piecing.

Time For Banana Bread

"Mom, will you bake some banana bread?", he asked while grimacing at the black spotted banana.

One More Rosette Needed

 My little Longaberger basket goes with me pretty much everywhere I go.  Actually it is my daughter's.  Just borrowing it.  It's with me in the car, the dentist's waiting room, doctor's waiting room etc. - you get the idea.

After I finish the pink rosette, I only need to finish one more rosette.  Then I can add the green hexigons to the outer edges and start attaching the rosettes together.  It's coming together slowly but surely!

 

 

 

New Middle School

This is a new middle school being built in the neighborhood.  They started breaking ground in June.  The scheduled opening is set for January 2017.

Score!

 

My husband was cleaning out the garage and I noticed a box marked "fabric".  Score!  I found all these 1930s reproductions to add to My Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt! 

 

 

A glimpse of Autumn

A cute Black-Eyed Susan I bought at Trader Joe's complete with a neat pot.  I hope to plant this by my picket fence and let it spread.

Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt - cont'd

Moving right along.  A total of 11 rosettes are needed for a lap size quilt.  These were done while on a two week vacation at the beach.  People think I am crazy doing "tedious work".  I love it!  The plan is to do my best work for whoever will receive this and to possibly enter it into a quilt show when completed.
