Wow! Where did the month go? I have managed to finish a few things. I finished a customer quilt. I also finished the binding on my Flower Fairies Quilt and on the Flower Garden Quilt I made for my neighbor. The Flower Fairies is a small quilt that was a class sample for a technique using Thangles™. It looks like the ones called Four Patch Posies now but this was made before that technique was popular.
The Flower Garden Quilt is a nice lap size one. When going through my stash I found a Susan Winget panel and less than half yard of a coordinating print. My neighbor John works very hard maintaining the landscaping around the entrance to our subdivision. He gets help from several other neighbors but for a number of years he did most of the work so I’m going to give this to him and his wife Jane. 
I like making fast quilts with panel prints. I usually add borders and sometimes sashing around small panels. This time I like the overall look of the small panel together and I didn’t have a print that would work any better around the smaller squares so I left it as a unit. I added the words to the top and bottom. These had been running along the selvage of the panel. I used up the small bit of coordinating print for the top and bottom border and finished the sides with the green and small yellow and black gingham plaid.
I quilted it with the Gardenia panto. This was the first time I used this design and I love it! I’ve already used it on two customer quilts and I’m sure I use it again. I didn’t have enough of the green for the backing so I added a stripe of the terracotta in the same fabric. This was a very soft homespun plaid and I didn’t want to add a print that would be a different weight. I was pleased with both of these. Can’t say that about everything I do ;-(
