Wow - I haven't worked on a quilt for a while. Inkblots has been on the wall for weeks but didn't go anywhere. I had changed the layout and started to cut fabric. I had enough yardage, but two of the greens were much closer in shade on the wall than they had been on the table.
I like the color and I want to stick with this layout, so I went to Swanson's for some short yardage that might go with it.
The last of August and September have blown by. Right now it seems I'm doing nothing but trying to catch up!
The wildlife stopped eating my black-eyed susans long enough for them to bloom. I love the variety of colors from yellow to deep orange. My volunteer sunflowers had some nifty shading, too.
I spent a chunk of time working on our out-of-control yard. We had someone come in and whack back all the brush around the edges of the yard. I had no idea how much it had encroached - the yard looks so much bigger. I also pulled out several bushes, roots and all. I then tackled the side garden which was neglected since we moved in: I removed copious weeds, ferns and lily of the valley that had started to choke the ornamental grass planted there.
