I (finally!) finished appliquéing my last two tulip blocks for my Coming Home BOM project this week. It was fun picking out fabrics for each flower and the leaves.
All four blocks...done!
The points got easier with each tulip I stitched.
I put this together last night and put it up on the design wall for a picture. I stressed a lot about colour choices for this part of the quilt. It will be a queen sized quilt so there are 9 more months of blocks and borders to make. The next border consists of little houses, some of which are pieced already. I will be working on more of them next week.
Our azalea bush is in full bloom this week. This was a gift from a friend 6 years ago and it has more flowers every year. I think it likes where it was planted!
I was out for a walk yesterday at lunch time and noticed these tiny pinecones on a tree. They are about 1/2 to 3/4" round. I'm not sure what type of tree this is...
Coming Home looks beautiful and I don't see anything but perfect points on the tulips. Great job!
