Here's my last block for On My Window Flowers Bloom.  I see now that I should have chosen a lighter brown for the vase or used a brighter purple for the flower so that it would have stood out more.

I'm trying to keep up with Queen's Garden at the same time working on OMWFB.  Here is block 6 of Queen's Garden.  This is the quilt that I'm doing in solid fabrics.

Here are blocks 3 and 5 of On My Window, Flowers Bloom.  I have some leaves, petals and buds left to be stitched down.  Then on to block 4.

Here's what I've been working on during the past 6 weeks since my last post.  I've tried to keep up with Queen's Garden (except for the stitching which I can work in during small bits of time) and the first two windows of On My Window, Flowers Bloom.  I'm working on the third and fifth (?) windows now.  They are mirror images of each other with, what I'll call window 4, in between.  I've haven't decided on colors yet, but I think they'll be pink.  I have the templates done and the fusible ready.

I have all the pieces fused down, but I won't be able to get it all stitched down this weekend.  The weather is great and I need to get some garden work done before I go to Reno on Monday.  Also laundry, grocery shopping, etc.

My Dia de los Muertos quilt is completely finished now -- binding sewn down, hanging sleeve attached and label sewn on.  Now I'll just put it away until next Halloween time when I'll hang it.

Yesterday I started on Esther Aliu's 2018 BOM:  Queen's Garden.  I won't get January's block done before February's comes out (the 15th of each month), but I'll get a good start on it before on leave on the 12th for a week in Reno.  I'm doing it in subdued solid colors.  It looks rather boring now, but I'm hoping it'll be like a blank canvas for Julia Quiltoff to do her magic on.  It'll also help when I get the flowers on those stems.  Maybe tomorrow before Anthony gets here to work in the garden.

I've completed the four floral blocks of Diamond Hill.  This morning I began to bind the Dia de los Muertos quilt.  I'll do the hand stitching while watching TV in the evenings.
