Hello dear readers......here is my new and freshly finished flower pots quilt top in a vintage style this time.....
........the original was made in bright fresh colours and i wanted to try it in these softer, more antique feel fabrics.....which i also love.....
.........the flowers of my blooming bellis daisy are always an inspiration.......
..........the fabrics are french general jardin de fleurs.........i used charm packs and also bought a jellyroll to create the borders.......lots left for other pretty projects......as usual i popped in a few tilda fabrics too....i always like to mix fabric lines up a bit....the backing fabrics are from my stash....a basket full of low volume prints that i often add to.....
.........it was fun to make this appliqué quilt, and the pattern is in my etsy shop link in sidebar.......
.........below are some flower pots in my greenhouse growing sweetpea seedlings which have now been planted out.......
...........have been loving all the bluebells and here is a basket full.......
.........a little view of spring flowers, self seeded feverfew in a big pot, and the beehive composter....
.........and on a little wall lots more flower pots including my tulip pot.......
...........i have always found flowers a true joy to see.......close ups of the perfect shapes and colours always delight me....these are auriculas, violas and bellis daisies in the greenhouse this week......
.........and along with this week's quilt stack is a green glass vase of garden grown flowers.......
...........thank you so much for dropping by to my little bit of blogland.......it's always a pleasure to have your visits and to read your kind comments........i will be taking a little blog break next week as we will be on holiday in the country for a few days......but will be back the following week as usual.......and you can still find me on instagram if you'd like to.......wishing you a happy time in the meantime lovelies....take care..........peace and love ..............back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Your flower pot quilt is a perfect accompaniment to this season when gardens are displaying such a lot of loveliness. I'll be planting out sweet peas this weekend, hopefully the rain will stay away. Have a good weekend.
