Happy, happy springtime! A friend picked me a little bouquet of lilies of the valley, my favorite flower with such a delicate fragrance. I can enjoy it every time I pass by. And out on my deck a little house finch is perched on the railing, singing his heart out. Bird songs are very special to me also.
Here is my May RSC16 16-patch block with a happy dancing bear just out of hibernation.
I chose green also for my Modern HST Sampler block Diagonal. I have some beautiful green prints from Barbara Brackman's William Morris Jewels collection. Since this one is a floral I also chose a lime green tone-on-tone floral to give a springtime effect.
My next WIP is the pinwheel row quilt I started last year. To use more of the fun fabrics I had gathered I made this braid strip. It was too short so this week I added a couple more strips and trimmed it all up.
I'm very proud to be a member of this active and generous group which meets weekly for show and tell. They give a lot of encouragement and support to all the members. We also have a giveaway table after the meeting where we can find many goodies and many of these reject fabrics are turned into lovely charity quilts.

Great work with the quilt charity! Your green blocks are looking good!
ReplyDeleteGreat job by your guild to provide so many quilty hugs. Love the little bear and owl in your 16 patch block.
ReplyDeleteLove that green 16 patch, especially with the fun animals and other prints!
ReplyDeleteLove the bear! And the doves are very fun too. The lime green looks lovely in your second block. And wow--172 quilts is very generous!
ReplyDeleteThe bear may be dancing, but the owls look like they're saying 'Uh-oh. Bear...' 8)
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic stack of quilts! Hurray for all you quilters and your generosity!
Your 16-patch block is adorable with bears, owls and doves! And that HST block is to die for. I think that Modern HST thing sounds interesting - will have to look that up. What a great group of quilting women you have!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful saturated greens and HUGE kudos to you and your group for all of those comfort quilts!
ReplyDeleteWell it shouldn't be hard to guess that my favorite is the 16-patch with hooting owls and a bear.
ReplyDeleteLove that Wm Morris with the lime green combo. Yum. And, of course I love novelties so have to say that 16P is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteYay for donation quilts!
Beautifully rich greens and good for you helping out with charity quilts.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work with your charity group! Well done to all of you. Cute little bear you found coming out of hibernation :-)
ReplyDeletebirdsong... I was just thinking how good it sounded this morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat green blocks this week! Kudos to your quilting group - what a wonderful way to give back to the community!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a wonderfully successful charity quilt drive. That's a lot of quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove your fun greens. Such a cut little bear, owls, doves and musical instruments. Novelty prints here and there make a finished quilt more interesting.
Your quilt group sounds very much like ours. You're so fortunate to be able to "play" with them. I'm tending toward the spring-y greens in my RSC blocks too (not that I've made very many yet!).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful greens in your very spring friendly blocks.
ReplyDeleteloving all the green the group meeting looks fun to belong to
ReplyDeleteSounds like spring is in the air and in your heart Paula. Lilly of the valley are lovely, how nice of your friend to pick them for you. Lovely blocks, I have to go with the majority and say I love the 16 patch, great fabric choices.

Nice green blocks. You group made lots of quilty hugs. Good job.
ReplyDelete16 patch with fantastic greens, so cute the little bear and the owls. I had problems with the internet, from Saturday to Tuesday morning, almost lost the linky party. I would love seeing all those quilts openned. Congratulations for being part of a great cause. Hugs
