Floral Hexagons New Project

Still inspired by spring flowers and floral fabrics! Using some scraps from my Liberty stash I started to cut and prepare hexagons with the purpose of making a pillow.

In the garden the iris are wonderful and the wisteria fabulous this year. This is the view I have from my bedroom window in the morning opening the shutters, and the truth is that it influences my mood positively for the rest of the day! The wisteria flowerheads can reach one yard long! They look like a lace curtain, and moving with the wind they exhale a delicate perfume.

On the left of my window is the fig tree and every morning new little figs appear! 

Nature is really miraculous and so inspiring for quilting or painting!

Pieced Backing

As I never really plan my quilts, it's seldom that I have enough fabric in my stash for the backing. 

Usually I order a matching fabric. For my Liberty Four Patch top I had found in my stash an old floral fabric from Lucien, but so disappointed that it was only one yard. As I thought it was perfectly matching, I decided to use it and to complete with leftover squares from the top and to add a piece of lilac fabric. I must say that I enjoyed doing this for the first time. I am very pleased with the result and happy for the saving money on another fabric order! 

My lilac starts flowering and my quilting mood is lilac tone!
