Hello Quilt Friends!
From the valley where summer weather is easy living. Walks in the park and through Lake Wilderness Arboretum are on the daily schedule. Blackberries are ripe and we're picking them for freezing for winter treats, pies, cobblers, a little jam, etc.
And I finished piecing my Scrappy Four Patch on Point quilt top and added borders, done at 48" x 54". Beth at Four Patch Fourways! has a good tutorial on ways to finish Fourpatch blocks that helped me in deciding the finish for my Fourpatch blocks. Thankyou, Beth, great inspiration!
Thinking of color inspiration and color in nature? ...which is easy this time of the year, visit Jean Wells at her blog, Dreaming in Color, an Invitation From Nature for her inspiration and beautiful photos on texture, line and color.
That is the quilt news from the valley, where I'm remembering to be thankful and helping out when I can. Are you enjoying summer's bounty, what's your favorite wild fruit? Or favorite fruit at the Farmer's Market?
I'll be by to visit.
love the layout you chose for your four-patches!
ReplyDeleteI do like your Pinwheels! Thank you for bringing our attention to Jean Well posts, they're amazing, I've just been reading her June30 post, good information.
ReplyDeleteYour four square on point quilt is really fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of wild berries to enjoy. In Sweden quite a lot or raw berries are stirred with sugar and then eaten with BBQed meat!

I don’t think about borders often enough, but that photo of your lovely pinwheels reminds me that I should keep them more in mind.
