Florid Bloom

I just want to say upfront that I really, really, really dislike the new Blogger interface. They made it easier for mobile users, which I support, but the changes pretty much make working with the tool on a desktop a complete pain in the ass. I'm not sure why they didn't stick with what works for desktop users and let the new stuff be used by mobile users. It's like they assumed everyone was using mobile for blogging and they could ignore the world of desktop users. I'm not averse to change, just change that seems to be for change-sake and provide little/no benefit for users. I'm going to give it a better try since it seems to be behaving slightly better than it did in June/July when they first announced the shift. That doesn't mean I'm happy about it. 

Part 2

This is one of the finished blocks for this quilt. The big pieces make the curved piecing simple enough to get a good result. There are few questionable seams in there but most of them are spot-on. 

I worked through these units over a couple weeks. The next part was joining them together into a top. This took careful marking and many pins. 

I'm not sure I have an appropriate backing for this one. I'll have to look in my collection. 

I seriously see a scrappier version of this quilt in my future. I have an idea on how to incorporate some grandmother's fans into the quilt. You'll have to check back to see how that turns out.
