2nd Flower Pots Panel






I finished my 2nd Flower Pots panel this weekend. The first panel took about 3 weeks, but this one took a little longer because I also managed to hand-quilt a baby quilt for my new nephew. Naturally I enjoyed every minute of applique.















Here they are together. I've cut out the Star block so I'll have handwork to take on vacation on Saturday. Does anyone know a good quilt shop in San Diego? I can always use a couple more pieces of fabric, right?

    Rosie's Calico Quilt Cupboard in San Diego is wonderful. They have a huge selection and ship. Also, if you like primitives, you can't beat Country Loft in nearby La Mesa.

    I've just come back from San Diego and I agree with both of the comments above. Rosies is like an Aladdin's cave of fabric and Country Loft has the good old fashioned quilt shop feel to it. I think there is a shop hop in San Diego this month as well, so there is plenty of information on other shops in the area at the first 2 mentioned. I like the striped stems on that background. They look great together.

    What stood up for me was the great colour of the background. It works so well.

    I echo Cathy and Celia above that background sure makes the colours sing!

    Beautiful, Lee. I love the way the shaded ombre stripe works in the flowers. I keep thinking we have the same fabrics, but we don't! These two panels really complement each other so well; the vases look good together. Well done, good friend!

    Your fabric choices are beautiful and that is an amazing background color that you chose. I'm amazed it every time I check the blog, I want to hurry and finish my lollipops so I can work on another quilt.
