Here are some beautiful hyacinth bulbs I bought last week. It was amazing to see them bloom before our very eyes. Their scent brings to mind a next-door-neightbor I had growing up. She had hyacinths planted in her yard. So I called to see how she was doing. She is old, but fine!
Here are some snowballs. They finish at 4" square. I finished the runner below a while ago. These are ever-so-slightly larger. I sewed these three rows together to see if the size was what I wanted. It was!
Another difference in this one is that I'm alternating a light gold snowball with a dark fabric one.
On the runner (pictured below), I hand quilted two diagonal rows 1/4" apart through the center of each block. Also, all 4 corners on each block matched. The matched corners were too stressful and time-consuming. On my new quilt top (which I foresee taking years of scraps to piece to get up to size), I am not matching corners. The quilting remains to be seen.
I finished another big top except for the outermost border today. See it on my secret blog because it's, well, a SECRET!! Email me if you want the URL.
