FAIT ACCOMPLI

                      " I SEE FIRE AND I SEE RAIN"-- OJOS DI DIOS IS FINISHED!!!
                                                      (avec les pieds de mon mari;}}}   ) 
AND
Here is the back:

(And, by the way, you can just spy our new living room chairs where we have
our four o'clock cocktail hour by our picture window--just sayin' lol)



And my little Teapot label below:

[ I am a huge fan of Trader Joe's Irish Breakfast Tea...
So, I thought a teapot label would be very appropriate for teatime in the garden.....]

And here is the little "Green Fairy" in the geraniums...love those prints....💓💚

                                         Mauve Fairies, frolicking in Monet's Jardin,
                                                                 watch over the borders...
                                                                                    💜😍

                       I am happy with how it came out....and how the window light
                                                         makes it all sparkle...

And, because I only have muslin for a lining, 
as all the Ojos blocks are constructed on
muslin squares, it is a very lightweight piece....
perfect for Summer Evenings near
our deck garden pots....
under the stars....aaahhhh....

And so, mes amies, you must all be saying--"Wonderful---here she is
going on some more AGAIN about ISF &ISR--;*}}}} BUT
C'est toute fini...done, over, ...and
I know I am happy to lay it over
the chair 
and let it rest......
au revoir Ojos................

**************************************************
And now it'll be onto Maverick Stars...
I will be making 3 backings next...
more on what i am planning for those later on....
Rest for now...

hugs on this lovely Saturday, 

Julierose, La Blageuse (je suis fini-euse)

  1. Ojos is lovely, Julie. A delightful way to sort your scraps plus you included many that have special meaning. You are very smart to line it with muslin. Perfect for summer weather.

  3. It's beautiful. I love all your details, makes it so special. And the little teapot label is adorable.

    I love tea at sunset on winter days...replaces a glass of wine for summer evenings. I prefer double bergamot Earl Grey, but a friend just gave me some testers of Chinese teas and I love them. Classics like Oolong that I have never tried.

    enjoy the sunny if short afternoons this weekend!

  6. Congratulations on your beautiful finish! It's used up some of your scraps and captured some memories into the bargain. I'd never thought of making a summer-weight quilt like that -if our summers keep getting warmer I might try it. And nothing beats a good cup of team. :-)

  12. Yay--what a nice finish. It looks like it belongs in a garden, so will be perfect to use on the porch! Have fun with your Maverick's!

  13. Yes, beautiful finish!
    I like the fairies frolicking in the garden. And good choice for lining for a summer weight quilt and your border finish.
    Inspiring.
