Midweek: flowers, foliage, flimsy

 

From my walk yesterday.  We haven't had a frost yet so late-summer  flowers are hanging on.

 

The foliage is beautiful every autumn. I think we're noticing it more this year.   

Speakng of noticing:  This article reports on a study of  the way the pandemic shutdown has affected songbirds.  They don't have to compete with as much noise.

In the studio:

Several readers have speculated about the design for these units.   Here's that photo again.

And here's the flimsy!   The design is by Bev Getschel, published in Quiltmaker May/June 2017.  It's called Tutti Frutti, but that doesn't seem very much like  "ice cream or other sweet food containing a mixture of chopped fruits, candied, dried, or fresh." 

I followed the designer's colorway.

The units are 4-1/2" unfinished. The blocks are 12-1/2" unfinished.  The flimsy is 60" x 72" and used 4 yards.
