THE BLUES

                                    I've finished the blue set of 3 legos blocks.....

Most of my blue scraps were used in making these two quilts 
and two others which went to grandchildren....

AND

so...it was a real scramble to put these

three together....

I had one little girl

and

a blue window...

Next up are purples.....

*****************************

Here are the latest two daylily bloomers..

This looks like the 1st one but in reality it is more of a peach color

than is shown by this photo...

and

this one is a raspberry color

Hubster is power washing our front paver

walkway and seating area....

Then he will seal it--quite a mammoth job...

We are having a little sprinkling of rain;

hoping for more...

BLUE LEGOS, ET AL

Here is my first blue block of three......................

You know, you learn something with each project you make....
isn't that the truth??;)))

I can see that I have very FEW low volume fabrics in my scraps and in my
stash...Most are mid values or darkish or vibrant. Do you find that you always
gravitate to the same tones, or types of fabrics?  I am trying to do a 
stash inventory to actually SEE and KNOW (duh!!) what I have on hand....

I mean pinks are lightish to begin with...
but as I look at this on my wall 👀 👀 👀------

I see VERY FEW fabrics that are widely spaced and have white or off white
backgrounds... and my shelves are groaning with similar tonal fabrics...

[I don't count Black and White-- as they kind of stand out to my eyes]

Is it that I am just drawn to vibrant colors?  I keep saying that I
want to make a low volume piece...with the palest of tints....

I have very few plaids and just one little bundle of polka dots--I've never
used them...they are shoved WAY way back in the precut box....

Do you actively try to make your stash varied?  
this quilting gal wants to know ;)))))
*********************************

The 3 green/mauve-ish blocks have used up all my precut 3.5" squares...
This morning I die cut a few more solid greens and some more
 pinky triangles..

[Now,ladies,---- "which one is not like the others?    hahaha]

I guess I will be  making TWO pieces (ya think?)....

No way is that beige block going to play well with the first 3...
at least not for me...

The beiges will be set with my pre-cut batik triangles...

They will be "Autumn Snowballs".....

***************************************

And I am die cutting 1.5" squares from leftovers of these two
projects  for a postage piece in the future...keeping busy....

We are in the AC today--BECAUSE it is so MUGGY!! again!!
