Dragonflies and waterlilies happy V-day

My posting schedule is kind of sporadic now that I have 3 deadlines to make and post my work. 

Today I am sharing this week's work for the stay at home round robin, the prompt is "curves" and I needed to make the prompt fit in my scene

this week I joined the hourglass blocks, love how they blend and look, thank you to the challenge organizers. Then I worked on this week's curves.... decided to use this fabric

I used some misty fuse on a fussy cut strip, then cut out petal shapes and arranged them into lily shape

and chose a background fabric to fit in with the double blocks row I did last week, and pieced this week

I fused the top portion of petals together to make one flower to then move around the background

it's easier to move the whole thing than keep individual petals together

heat bonds the petals and mistyfuse

seeing it with the components, I realized it needed a leaf. Used a scrap, sewed seams in it to create texture

tucked it under the petals and I plan to embroider all the petals and leaf when the quilt is basted, to create more dimension, and that thread color will create more depth then

I'm liking this, and plan to move the strip I chose last week to let the watery fabrics blend

awe, I love coming in the studio to see this on the wall!

no time to rest, this is the Valentine pull for a special hexie spiral block

and this is the pull of green scraps for Rainbow Scrap challenge 

A hexie block in St. Patrick's day fabrics, and green scraps for this month

and one of my photos from walks this week, enhanced to really glow green! since it's mostly brown in Colorado without any snow basically all season. We never got winter this year  near Denver

and my calendar is especially pretty this month, with a V-day collage

(we are going out to visit a poodle, wish us luck, a house needs a spoo  (standard poodle)!
