SET UP SATURDAY

I've sewn my legos strips in rows of three each; and have set them onto
long muslin pieces. 
This way I will quilt each one separately 
and not have to 
pull the whole goldarn thing through the machine....
A quilt-as-you-go-by-row,;)))




Next, of course will be pinning each row to ready it for quilting...i will also
be figuring out what kind of quilting I want to do...that is a puzzler....???

***********************************
My  big day lily plant finally bloomed 
and it's a very pretty one..
.
I don't know what color you could call it as it is so
varied....


Aren't those colors amazing--there is even yellow and mauve and cream
inside...and a little bit of orange on the anthers...







Light pinky-mauve...
dusty rose, cream
yellow, hint of green

l






                                and I love those ruffled edges...
AND................
                       there are about 20 more buds ready to open...
                                               Well worth the wait...💛💚

*******************************
We are in a heat warning here--I
haven't poked my nose out today...
staying in the AC...
Soooo,
I also sewed up some more snowballs:
Here is my collection so far.....
                         I didn't realize that I've made FIFTY-FOUR!!!

And this will be the fill-in on the last top right block:↓↓




Dark teal squares with pink and green triangles...I only had 3 of the teals
                  so I added the closest color I had in my box;

As you can see below I STILL have a ton left--and those are only the
solids....;000

                 Good thing I really like making these, right?(heh heh)

Well that is where my projects stand right now....

I hope you are staying cool....

SUNDAY SELECTIONS

                     Side borders are sewn on Stone Soup
            Now to decide on top and bottom; I was thinking of:

                            
                         This lovely rich print...to pick up the purples....
                              and sort of anchor it all together...

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

                  My Snowballs are amassing...slowly but steadily....
                             I have 6 more blocks set up:
Here:
                       All ready to be trimmed and sewn into blocks...

I am running out of little corners..
but I think that rows of 4 wide by 6 long 
will be big enough with borders ...we shall see...
👀
AND
speaking of "seeing":

I am told by my eye Doctor that I have eye issues that are going to be 
resolved by some laser surgery in late March and early April--in office
and "not a big deal", 
so they say....;0000

In the meantime, my vision has really taken a beating--
my eyesight is like looking
through a dirty car window right now..ugh..

so I am trying to limit my reading, sewing, postings, crosswords--
all the things I L O V E to do , etc etc
what a.................................... 
                                              BIG DRAG!!! ;((((

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

A N D .........on a brighter note 👀
My Red Surprise amaryllis is throwing up an entirely new set of 
shoots after its prodigious first blooming ;))) 

Will there be a flower in there?  

Anxiously awaiting while  coddling her along....
**************************************************

My posts may become more infrequent until my issue is taken care of...
be assured that I will be following your postings, a few at a time, 
each day...
