pastels
pretty much I worked on putting those tiny 2" squares together, each finishing at around 1 1/2" really making my quilt smaller
19" X 22" ish.
too small so I got these out to put on another whole row around this center...
then sew the pieced rows to the center matching edges... and my idea is to border with the larger pieces and prints
maybe some floral appliques after all that is done

| close up... colors blend from block to block to create a scene |
when I'm stressed, I sort, so I looked thru my scrap bins and pulled out pieces that could be cut into 3" squares, 3 1/2" squares and 2 1/2" squares and plan to keep a little box of mixed color same shapes and sized squares for use later.
it's calming to sort, don't you think? handling fabric is better than nothing
I’m so very sorry to hear Alfie is sick. Keeping him in my thoughts.
ReplyDeletePretty PASTEL piecing, LeeAnna. So sorry to hear about that sick pup!! :o((
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, but I gotta say puppy steals the show! Get well, little one. 🐶
ReplyDeleteThe watercolor quilt is coming together nicely. Hopefully it cools down a bit and your pup gets to feeling better. It's no fun to be stressed.
ReplyDeleteWe have this in common! When I'm stressed, I organize or sort or straighten!
ReplyDeletePoor Alfie - is it the heat? Agree that sorting and sewing scraps can be very therapeutic, a stress buster.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t done any quilting for a while. You may have inspired me to start a small watercolor wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Alfie gets well quickly. I have a friend visiting her brother-in-law just south of your area in Colorado. I asked her how the trip was going and she said Hot! Hot! Hot!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry poor Alfie is sick - perhaps he needs a different type of food? My friend has a standard and his tummy doesn't react well to a lot of foods and they've had quite a time finding one that he likes and that sits well on his tummy.
ReplyDeleteIt has been so hot... and windy! And wind makes me grumpy... as does the constant sound of fans and AC units. :( Petting fabric and organizing are very calming for me. I'm sorry to hear that the pup is ill. :( Did you ever settle on a name for him? Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolor painting is lovely, it looks like a field of wildflowers. I'm sorry to hear about Alfie, hot temperatures are hard on everyone, and I hope you are both not suffering too much. Thank you for sharing your creative week and linking up.
ReplyDeleteHope you furr baby feels better soon. Lovely quilting as always. You amaze me how you make so much from scraps.

I love your watercolor quilt, LeeAnna. I hope Alfie is feeling better really soon. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteFun to see the watercolor..reminds me of working in the quilt store when those were all the rage. Sorry about Alfie, hope it is just the heat. Percy often reacted to it.
