FLOWERS, APPLIQUÉS, AND MATH

I think we finally have spring.  Our neighbors garden sprouted out these over the last few days.  

It made me want to get to work on a spring runner for myself.  
Now to get the other blossoms on and the second half ironed down.
I had been working on this quilt top, and had all the blocks ready to go.  Somehow the math didn't work!  I now have to trim off 1/4 inch off each side of the four patches to make it fit.  Not sure how that happened.  Nothing finished this week, not even the spring weather, it rained yesterday and is supposed to again today.  I think I will move on to next week.

    I love your blossoms...both real and hand made. I am jealous of the real ones, but ours will come soon.

    Very pretty! I find batiks hard to hand stitch even with the sharpest needles!

    My math is always off, so I make everything a 1/4" bigger, just in case and trim down.

    That bird fabric is so pretty. Good thing the 4patches are too big, and not too small. Quilting math can be such a pill!
