Midweek: topalong and round robin


Sunshine and somewhat warmer temps were conducive to good walks on Monday and Tuesday.  

This is looking west from Spring Bluff Forest Preserve.

 


I love wild "flag" iris!  



Gator Party, the June installment of the Running Doe Quilts topalong, is now a flimsy.  I used shirtings (most of which I purchased at a rummage sale last weekend) and solids (from my overflowing solids stash . . . I don't purposely purchase them so how is it that I have two big bins full?).  


The patches are 5 x 6-1/2 finished. The accent pieces began with 3" squares.

2-7/8 yards.



Since the guild round robin is a surprise all I can show you is the starter.   DT made one 9" T block.  The  70's/80's floral she used inspired me to go into the vintage bin and choose similar florals for my addition.   (This was the first round of five.)


Linking up with  Wednesday Wait Loss   Thanks for the shout out this week, Jennifer.

    Interesting design for Gator Time - nicely done with shirtings! The iris here have bloomed and finished for this year - but they were gorgeous while they lasted.

    Done with shirting fabrics, the accents/gator backs look like pocket squares to me. Cute, regardless the interpretation.

    Interesting pattern. I love that you have tons of solids but never buy them! 🤣 Fabrics just appear in my stash too. I think they gather to party. 😉 Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

    I like that Gator Party design! It's fun with the shirt fabrics. Also a great way to use some solids, too. I also have a bunch of those in scrap form with no real good idea for how to use them!

    Gator Time worked out well. I like all the blue and grey shirt fabrics, they work really well together and with the bright solids. Round robins are such fun.

    The Gator Party quilt looks great. I have sometimes participated but am skipping this year. Plenty of things already on my list.
