Wedding Quilt!

It was a rough start and I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure about the direction I should take with this project.I consulted with my best quilting friends and began getting it organized with some color continuity along side some scrappiness.  I'm using the Tara Faughnan Pattern that uses freezer paper pieces, but you don't sew through the paper.  You press, add a quarter and fold.I worked up to doing six at a time.  Here is my table with precut color stacks to choose from.It was fun to pick out the organized color rings and the scrappy ones.
There is a lot of hand tracing and cutting of the melon pieces and the corners to go.  Not to mention (I'll try not whine), the 4 curved seams PER BLOCK.  I repeat:  PER BLOCK.What can I say?  I like a challenge and I Love my Daughter and her Fiance'.   All the backgrounds will be dark colors.   

Here is a finished block.Wish me luck quilt friends!  Please!

I ordered this little solar LED string of bumble bee lights from Amazon.This is how they looked from the kitchen.  Aren't they cute!?  The white latern is a solar LED from Ikea last year.September means one of my favorite treats:  Caramel Apples. I tell myself they are healthy.  They are.....right?However you may feel about the Monarchy, I have really been moved by the pageantry of the Royal Proceedings for Queen Elizabeth's Funeral.

I set up a humble little tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and the people of London from a small collection of items today.  

Happy September!  xo
