This time of year just makes you want to work in the garden, right?? well, I just got a manicure, so I'm sticking with the Aunt Millie's garden for now, thank you very much!
So I prepped the last of my blocks.....I'm only doing 9. very exciting, I actually might finish this quilt this year!
I'm telling you....who would have ever thought brown would make such a good "ground" against all these colors (sorry, couldn't help myself in the pun department)
Hugs and Stitches!

I literally almost gasped when your page came up! I love the blues and purples and greens! And I never would have thought of brown, but you're right -- it's perfect! Can't wait to see it all put together!

My very first thought was: Wow, look at how those colors pop against brown! Who'd have thought! Wonderful!

I love your "garden." I have to ask, is this raw edge applique? It sure doesn't look like it and I was wondering what method you use.

Still loving every one of these blocks. Stunning.....

Beautiful! I am an avid appliquer, but since shifting towards using the freezer paper/starch method for preparing them I have had trouble with my inner points fraying. Any tips?

You were right on when you picked the brown background... every block looks just amazing on that color! Yay you!

megan the "chocolate" is the perfect background for POC designs and the fabrics you chose is just the right frosting...They developed an earlier design with the chocolate background and tulips (all different) you will have to see it to believe it..do you know your layout? and what about the boarder are you doing the boarder??
