I enjoyed walks at McDonald Woods on Wednesday and the state park north unit on Thursday.
Left: dame's rocket has become invasive. Top: balsam groundsel or balsam ragwort; fleabane. Center: shagbark hickory, chokecherry. Bottom: strawberry, peppergrass.
BoBevelynn, the top-along for May, is a flimsy. The pattern has 24 blocks. I added a column.
I used FQs from the Victoria show to add some variety for the bright colors.
Blocks are 12" so 60"x 72".
I sewed all the cut-away triangles and trimmed them to 1-1/2". (Eight per block times 30 blocks is a lot of HSTs.)
Some of those HSTs are part of a placemat (lower right). The other three placemats came from the Parts Department.
I made three daisy mug rugs for the ongoing P.E.O. project.
No appointments on the calendar this weekend so I have no excuse not to get to work on the display for the P.E.O. convention, right? Right!
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
Your placemats are awesome. Love how you used the tiny scraps. Love your wildflowers, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the orange, pink and greens together.
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty wildflowers in your area, Nann! BoBevelynn is a beauty, too. What are you going to do with all those extra HSTs? Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove those colors in your quilt. Good for you to find a use for those little trimmed corners. You do have such lovely places for your walks each day. Makes me wish we had some state parks close by. Nearest is about 80 miles away, but my daughter and her family do lots of summer hikes in several state parks close to Sioux Falls.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is really bright and fun. You are dedicated to trip all those HSTs, but you found a good use for them.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason that quilt top reminds me of sherbet.
ReplyDeleteBoBevelyn is beautiful - and her off cuts are amazing - Love all those placemats - what fun. Your hike sounds beautiful !
