Clothes' quilt

This is a quilt made by S.M. for her daughters' 50th birthday. It will be a surprise for her. These outfits are all made from clothes that her monther made her when she was a little girl. Sorry I don't have a full size shot, it was rainy when I took these so the light wasn't very good and I couldn't take it outside on the clothesline.  Aren't they adorable!! It was also quite large!! I am sure there will be some reminiscing when she sees all of these!

Geometry

Ok, I am starting off with something new!

 Can you believe how much different strips look when they are cut apart and sewn together? The blocks on the left are from the fabric on the right. I think I will finish this and give it to a good friend that is a math teacher, she likes to hang quilts in her room during the school year, and I think this really looks mathematic, don't you, well, at least geometric!



Our very early spring has rushed the daffodils, here are a couple of beauties:


These on the left always make me think of Wonka's Chocolate factory, when he picks a daffodil, and drinks out of it like a tea cup.
