This past week has been really productive. Granddaughter, Suren and I have her first vest almost finished. Now just to practice a couple of button holes. She managed on Friday to get the other three cut out along with their backs and pinned ready to start sewing the shoulder seams. My June BOM Garden Party Down Under is finished. So lots of time to get busy and accomplish some more on my other two projects.
June's BOM Garden Party Down Under blocks are done. Very pleased to have finished this one off so quickly. The best part of getting so much completed is I have been able to work on some other projects that I have going all at the same time. I was able to finish up the first really large panel, 18 by 42 of my Flower Pot project. These appliqués are so much fun, and yes they are huge. I have a good start now on the top center block. Lots of work left to do on these blocks, but the fabric is just so fun to work with. I still have the small circle appliqués to do on the right upper curved appliqué and the lower left then plan to sew on the 2 inch strips on all four sides of it. I got the first of the final borders on to the left side of the neutral quilt. The right side is started then the top and bottom borders. I have to wait to get the final four corner blossoms on when all are sewn on. It seems to be coming together nicely. And yes I have ordered the kit for another project. Our youngest daughter, the one with all the chickens, ducks, and of course those peacocks. When I saw this kit at Intrepid Thread I just knew it was the perfect birthday gift for her 50th in January. Plenty of time to get it done too!
The Flower Pot quilt really is fun and colorful! Love seeing your other projects, too. The peacock quilt looks perfect for your daughter!
