I think part of the reason the gardens are doing so well is all the rain we’ve had. While the end of May, beginning of June were super dry, mid/late June brought the rain and it’s just kept coming. This past week, we’ve had some really heavy downpours (other places in the province had tornadoes!).

Saturday rained all day, on and off. So it seemed like a good time to just stay inside and sew (really, it doesn’t take much of a nudge to get me to do that!)

I got started a little later than planned (no reason, just a really lazy morning), so I decided instead of starting something new (which was the original plan), I’d put together a couple more blocks for my red/cream quilt.

I absolutely love these blocks! And apparently Burton does too! While everything is cut and ready to go, they still take a couple hours to put together a pair. And the results are so worth it!

Each block is 16 inches, and the 8 I have done so far already cover half the bed.

Of course, it will be a bit smaller when they are all sewn together, but it should still cover the top of the bed. Then I will add border to build it out to about Queen-sized.

No matter the size, it’s definitely going to be a stunner! (and yes… I still have to fix one of my blocks!!!)
