Last Blooms



94 Flowers Completed

Just as summer ends, so does the flowers for Karen's Flower Garden.  It was an excellent month for flower making, as I stitched together the last 18 flowers.  Ending up with two more then I thought I would have, it is now time to arrange my blooms and watch as they slowly turn into a beautiful garden.


Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.

Until next time.....happy quilting!

Hi Karen,

I love your flowers - well done.

I also love the sentence about flowers and fruits - this is my favorite time of year

The flower almost looks like it is weeping..almost like a lady with blonde hair, her head down weeping.

Beautiful quilt!

Nearing the end of the number of blocks needed makes the needle and thread move more quickly, doesn't it? Your flowers are lovely.

Are you setting them without a border (path) running between the blocks??? I LOVE the way you have them layed out. Looks great! Congrats on finishing so many.
