Yellow and Green, and some Purple too.

Purple is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour this month. I was not sure if I had enough 2.5" squares to make six blocks--my purple stash is sparse, but I managed to get my blocks done without getting a friend to donate some scraps to my project.  I have 48 blocks made so far--this might be enough. I will have to lay them out and see how they look.  

My sewing time this week has been spent working on the yellow and green potato chip quilt.  This quilt will be donated to the nursing home where my MIL lives for the auxiliary to raffle off as a fundraiser.  All the fabrics you see in the front and back of this quilt are from my stash.  My pieced back is not big enough --I searched though my stash for the right colour of green or yellow yardage to make it bigger but to no avail... I had to go shopping.  I managed to find a yellow tone on tone print that will work perfectly.  I need to wash it before adding it to the top and bottom of what I have already made. 

Finn approves. 

I originally made 12" blocks but the quilt was not quite big enough.  I added another round of potato chips and now, it is the right size. 48 by 64" ...this picture was taken before the last round was added. 

This monarch butterfly has been visiting my flowers all week and today, it sat still enough for me to get a picture. 

Lots of bees buzzing around too.  

Finn has been enjoying the sunshine.  

We saw a turtle digging a hole to lay her eggs yesterday when we took Finn for a walk. 

I will be working on my pitcher plant rug hooking project tomorrow (I'm working on the border) for slow Sunday stitching with Kathy. This did not get any attention this past week.  I will also link up with Frederique.
