Mystery Quilt

Looking through my Webshots album, I came to the realization that I have finished exactly ONE project this year – my Blooming Nine Patch.  How discouraging is that!

I have been working on a Mystery Quilt from Border Creek Station and have really enjoyed the process.  However, I just finished putting some of the blocks together and was very disappointed to see that one of my fabric choices is all wrong – the stars disappear into the background.

 

I toyed with the idea of just leaving them, but knew I’d never be happy, so yesterday I went all over the place trying to find another fabric to replace the brown star points.

I came up with this:

but I’ve decided this is too ‘white’ and doesn’t really look right.  Back to the drawing board!

Leo’s spring garden is starting to bloom and since I don’t have completed quilts to show you, I’ll share some of his flowers.  We have lots of different daffodils:

 

The magnolia tree is just about ready to bloom:

The hyacinth smell lovely when you open the front door:

The tulips are just starting to bloom – this is a pretty colour:

I had a lovely Mother’s Day lunch at Sandra & Darren’s, followed by a visit to my Mum.  I usually visit her in the morning as she gets more agitated as the day goes on – today was no exception.  Happy Mother’s Day to all who are Mothers, and especially to those who have lost their Mother.
