I have had a few flights and in-the-car-as-the-passenger time lately. So that means some progress has been made on my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt (do I hear cheering??).
Here is a picture of the top laid on my queen-sized bed. Keep in mind that I have quite a few more rows to add for the pillow tuck. In the picture, the top isn't even to the top of the mattress, but it's still encouraging.
My husband, son, and I are leaving in the AM for a flight to Arizona to see the newest family member, my oldest son's first child. Plenty of stitching time awaits!!
Here are two blocks I worked on while flying to PA this past Monday. I did a little stitching then, too. I was so glad my manicure scissors were able to fly with me. I got them at Walmart in the beauty department. The tips are rounded.
Here is what is in the soon-to-be-finished stage. Two of the blossoms are partially finished, and one that is complete is not attached to the mother ship yet.
This is laying on top of my bed. I have some more rows to piece, but I'm much farther along than I thought!!
Here is the plan for the next five blocks. I have high hopes, so I cut the strips I needed to the right width to take on the airplane with me.
I have put piles of coordinating fabric where the next block colors are selected.

Impressive, this is going to be wonderful and you are so organized with your color placement. Are you using tiny diamonds in between the blocks? It's going to be an heirloom for sure.
Yeahhhhh - cheering you on. It's looking lovely!!! LOVE all the muted shades. 8-))
Woo Hoo!!! It's looking great! Have fun on your trip to AZ and get lots of grandma cuddles in - I'm sure you will.
