BACKING UP, et al

 

Here is "proof" (haha) that I am serious about
BB1's return to be finished:

[just in case you wondered?]
😏
I made this backing from very, very "olde"
fabric favorites that I have been
hoarding for years
(Why, you ask??
I don' t know why 
and it's
past time 
to use them )

Look at that lovely field of tulips
(paired with a newer floral)

and
this pink bouquet which has to be one
of my super faves paired with
another semi-new piece...

I think the reverse will contrast nicely
with this  (ahem,  & may I call it??) 
"Vivid" front--
yikers--
talk about
wild and
in your face!! 

What WAS I thinking??
I am looking back to see if I was
unusually stressed? Worried?
Anxious???
?????????????
Anyhoo....
It is what it is and 
it now layered up and
ready for pinning.
which I WAS going to do today,
{REALLY}
but,
 after food shopping early and
then putting together a 
Shepherd's Pie for our
supper tonight,
I have retired to my recliner armed
with a cuppa tea and a blankie...
👀😇👀
And
here it is already lunch time--
time flies when you are 
having fun, right???

AND because you lasted through
all  my silly
wittering..
here is the latest look at 
my Galaxy, Nymph Double 
Flowering amaryllis...
(try saying that 3 times!!);)))
Just heavenly ....

Hugs, Julierose,
La blageuse

  3. The bright colours will be fun to work on during these dull winter days so perhaps it's meant to be!

  4. That is some pretty 'old' fabrics! I've come to the point to use 'saved' fabrics too. It's a bright and pretty quilt, glad you've decided to finish it. Oh wow! Your amaryllis is sooo beautiful!

  6. It's good to use the olde favorites, not leave them for someone else.

  7. Love those tulips! I can see why you were saving them. They will be happy to get into a quilt!

  8. Excellent fabrics, and yes, a nice contrast to the front of Bramble Blooms. That amaryllis is incredible.

  9. You've created a magical BB1 Julierose, a real beauty and though you refer to the quilt as wild and in your face - I think it's perfect - congratulations on persevering!
