Spring is interfering with the quilt

Step three involves sewing each pieced square onto a long solid strip . . .

then cutting and ripping the long strip. My inner three-year-old loves the ripping part. After pressing, we will arrange squares (rectangles actually) then sew them into strips, then sew the strips together and the top is done. And after that, make a top, batting and backing sandwich, sew the edges, pin, and tie, and finally, finally get the finished photo. How do you display a king-size quilt for photos? The sucker is ten feet square. We have seven foot ceilings.

This weekend is sunny, following ten consecutive weekends of rain. The magnolia tree in the back yard is quite alert to the possibilities.

Sunshine initiates the bloom in mere hours.

A little soft-focus flower pron anyone?
