What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It has been cloudy for several days, with more coming, so it is nice to be able to share something with some nice bright flowers while I am waiting for the spring bulbs to appear and get ready to flower in a couple of months time.

My favourite for today is the second one.

Interesting, and the colours are what we see on roadsides during the spring, and the crops in the paddocks change from green to gold at the same time as the native flora flowers.

We have lots of open spaces around the country, and the second quilt today has open spaces suitable for some creative quilting.

When I started playing with these trumpet flower designs I had never seen a real flower, but a friend has given me some cuttings after I saw them in her garden, so maybe next year I will have the real thing to admire. I will probably redraw the designs too with a real live model as reference.

In the meantime, when I am not tending the garden variety, I must add some quilting motifs to the block collection, and maybe change the leaf shape to something similar tot he real thing.

Sort of looks like a couple of patches in my garden where the jonquils have gathered. Project for the future should be to draw some jonquils and daffodils.

I like the second one … very interesting.

I couldn’t resist sharing this new project file, and setting myself a new challenge. If I can start sharing 25 new project files in 6 months, lets see if I can keep it up for the next 6 months … one a week.

I like these two designs, and suspect I will find quite a few more with the blocks I have already added to the file, and by comparison to some of the floral cross collections I have built up, there a lot more blocks to add to this one.
