The Batik Jewel Box project is now a flimsy. I had to get more light batik for the outer border, but that was all I purchased. The flimsy is 72 x 82 and used 5 yards.
I'm about halfway through quilting Path Through the Forest. (You can see the flimsy in this post.)The backing is a madras plaid that I got when I lived in Fargo. (A friend of a friend had been a semi-professional dressmaker. She sold her fashion fabric supply when her eyesight deteriorated. She asked for a fair donation that was up to the buyer.)
I leave Tuesday morning for the AAUW national convention in Washington. Home Sunday afternoon.
More volunteers in the garden--flowers I did not plant. I took the photo of the Japanese iris early in the week. (They've since faded.) 
I'm not sure what the pink flower is.
Some non-volunteers. I love peonies!
We got the white ones at a house sale eight or nine years ago -- a garbage bag of roots for $20. They've done well!
The pink ones came with the house.

Beautiful quilt top Nann. My peonies are blooming too so of course it has to rain so they are getting trampled. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!

ReplyDeleteThe Batik Jewel Box is so pretty. I love the feeling of getting a quilt top completed. Good Job! I too, love peonies.
ReplyDeleteJewel box looks terrific. Enjoy Washington (DC?) If it's DC the weather is absolutely STEAMING. Hopefully you'll be inside most of the time. Your plants are looking great. We need to add some plants but are waiting to see how what we had planted last fall do.
