I’ve got half of the next Ribbon Flower together – but I’m not sure yet just what flower it is. Is it a violet or clematis or verbena? Maybe salvia? Perhaps a pansy? I know it’s not wisteria, as I have the fabrics set aside for that – I think.
I can’t wait to see this one together as I think the effect with the dark shapes making up half the centre are going to give it a different look than any of the others.
It would have been finished but I spent tons of time on the weekend pulling fabrics and putting them into groups for other flowers. There’s another pink flower in the planning stages – I’ve got a number of pinks grouped together while I decide which fabrics will be included and which won’t. I spent ages putting groups of fabrics together for an orange flower. I’m trying to find some yellows that work together for a yellow rose, but it’s getting challenging as most of them just do not look good against others! While I’m choosing fabrics for a block, I keep the fabrics out where I can look at them repeatedly throughout the day. Right now, it’s rather messy as I’m picking out the fabrics for multiple blocks.

Jake has a perch in the bedroom. Usually I find him sleeping there, but last night he was quite alert and looking around for Baxter – I think he was getting ready for a chase.
It seems Baxter needed to vote on my fabric choices. The table on which my sewing machine resides is, right now, covered with groups of fabrics while I try to choose just the right ones for the next flower. Baxter must have liked the little stack of orange fabrics – that’s where he was perched when I took this photo.

Baxter is way to funny….

yum. The garden wasn’t a total loss.

It may be neither as there are some other flowers that I think it may be. We’ve had too much rain!

I think maybe start at the beginning of the Alphabet and work till the end. Aster to Zinnia maybe. and even the toon is confused. Totally gorgeous purples.

I’ve been looking at pictures of purple flowers on the Internet – and oh, my! There are loads of them so this may be something altogether different than I thought. I think I’ll make one more purple one after this and then focus on some orange and pink flowers and, of course, one or two more blue ones.

Thank you! I’m glad I got back into posting on my blog as it’s such a great resource for me – it’s basically my quilting diary, I think. I can never understand people who don’t like cats – they’re such lovable, funny, gorgeous companions!

It does look like a beautiful violet to me but whatever you decide it is a gorgeous flower for your quilt.

Thanks, Liz. I’m thinking it may be another purple flower altogether now. It’s 90% finished, so I’ll have to decide tonight what it is before I write the post for tomorrow.
