Welcome, here in the UK we have been enjoying some lovely Spring days, which has got me out in the garden, planting new flowers, and pulling up the weeds – why do the weeds always grow sooooo much faster then the flowers?
I wanted share an update of my progress of quilt-a-longs I’m taking part in this year,
Here are blocks 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 out of 20, of The Flower Bouquet quilt along hosted by Pat @quilterpatsloan,
Phew… I had a few to catch up on, where do the weeks go…
I’m using fabrics by Gutermann from the Portifino collection
May blocks for the Sewing Bee 4 group, this month block has been chosen by Dawn @sewnbysunrise for the charity @siblingstogetherquiltgroup
I used some Island batik scraps, and some pieces from Craft Cotton
The Daisy Chain Mystery Quilt-along – hosted by Amanda @honeybunnyanddoll.
I’m so excited to see how these blocks are going to come together, and now there’s not long to wait…
I couldn’t resist having a play with possible lay outs
This months colour challenge is lime green, this quilt along is being hosted by Jen @patternsbyjen.
I’ve been using Batik scraps throughout this challenge, with Gutermann threads…

I love your Flower Bouquet blocks! I’ve done mine a bit darker using my MIL and Mom’s stashes, and have been wondering how it would look in some lighter colors. I might do this quilt again and do the alternative layout with a lighter touch. That little Robin is amazing!

Hi Michelle! I was thinking about you this weekend. I am trying my first spool of Gutermann thread, and knew you used them all the time. I didn’t know Gutermann had a fabric line?!! Wow – I don’t think I’ve ever seen that here in the US anywhere but maybe I’m wrong. Very fun update you shared with us! ~smile~ Roseanne
