    The quilt has come out beautifully. And full of love, it shows.

    Also the box looks very nice. The sunflower will be a great finishing touch.

    I'm anxious to get through some more yard stuff and back to indoor projects too.

    We've come into a heat wave, so I picked raspberries and water in the morning, then come inside. I go back to work tomorrow then the kids come back next Tuesday, the day after Labor Day.

    I just need to sew the edges and this quilt is finished. The colors AR not as muted as the pictures show. The backing as a turquoise. The teacher is having her in a couple weeks so I actually will have the quilt done just in time. And, of course, something was on the floor so Minney had to lay on it.She put a few wrinkles in it but it lays flat when she doesn't decide to walk and play before lying down. 17256701546041332333239963205587.jpg 17256702279202079865809223324978.jpg 17256703425954546773876232613663.jpg

    That's perfect! It will be a beloved quilt! The border suits it perfectly, very nice touch!

    I did some quilt work this week. I want to complete another row of blocks before posting a photo.

    Thanks, I can't wait to see what you're working on! I gave it to the teacher with the kids present. They loved it. She told me the next day she and her husband were talking about how it fit with the nursery and she (the baby) could have tummy time on it. So I was so happy she !liked it.

    Here are the first four, of sixteen, blocks for the circles quilt.

    The big circles are pretty easy. The small ones add some variety, but are harder to get right.

    I've had some medical stuff and less time for garden plus normal stuff plus quilt, so it's a long process. This will have a border made from more cotton shirt fabric. I processed those shirts - wash, cut apart, starch, press - last week.

    I see a mistake in two of the blocks - repeats I don't want. I think I will take them back apart and redo them.

    Wow! That looks really nice, Daniel. Are those shirt fabrics? I very seldom see any that aren't plaid.
