Potty McDotty!

No, I wasn't attracted to this pattern because of its name!


It was more the lovely pots of appliqued flowers!


I saw the original quilt in a quilt shop recently and just 

had to buy the pattern!

It's by Irene Blanck of Focus On Quilts.


I made all the background pieces first and may, or may 

not, stay with this layout.



But it is good to have a plan and a record of it.


The slow sewing is very relaxing!



I often prep the blocks in the daylight hours....


and stitch away in the evenings!


I'm limiting the colour palette to blues, aquas, greens, 

yellows and light oranges


I listened to this wonderful audiobook while stitching 

this block.....




Looking at these now I am wishing I had varied the 

placement of the flowers or leaves in each block,

maybe curving them in the opposite direction.




Maybe I will do that with the next ones!

Happy sewing,

SUZ

Hearts Garden progress...

 Has it really been two months since 

 I shared progress of my Hearts Garden quilt?


This is where I left it last time.

 


It now has its borders of lollypop flowers


 

 



Next there will be hearts, of course.




 I have fabric sorted for the different parts,




 And the corner log cabin blocks made too.


Playing with the layout of those triangles, the base of the heart shape

 I’m thinking this one will be hand quilted,

 

So a finish will be some way off yet!


Should you wish to make your own Hearts Garden 🧡 


quilt,


Elizabeth @occasionalpiecequilt has it for sale here

 

Happy sewing,
