Summertime Sampler wall hanging complete

I finally finished this wall hanging on Dec 9/2024.  I wrote about it many times since I started it back on March 30/2019.  I worked on the blocks here and there over the years.  By October/2024 on our way to and from the cottage, for our yearly Thanksgiving family reunion, I worked on making the last of the flower buds that go around the border.  But then distractions happened and it took me a while still, just to get the green embroidered stem done.  The one that goes around the border, connecting the flower buds and the leaves.

Just an FYI, the borders are the same height and width.  It just looks deceiving in the picture, as the wall hanging is laying on the floor which is black carpeting.

This next picture is only one of the blocks in this wall hanging, called Summertime Sampler.  You can read about it and all the others throughout my blog posts, as I made them.  This block in particular was one of my favourites.  I do love the taste of watermelon in the summer, when it is so sweet and juicy that it runs down your face and hands, and you try to slurp it to avoid making an even bigger mess everywhere.....lol.  Definitely something to eat while outside on the lawn.

I thought I would stick this funky fabric quilt I made, for Project Linus, in this post too.  It's a simple and small quilt that didn't need a post on it's own.  This fabric was the leftovers from a backing of another quilt.  The flowers are huge.  Some of the flowers don't even fit in the size of the blocks and the blocks were 6" finished.  I came across this pattern when a friend was showing me a pattern from a Kaufman quilt book.  I used the green for the nine patches, as the background of this fabric was almost identical to this green.  

When I look at this picture, I feel that the green vibrates.....not sure if that makes sense.  It's like when you put green and red together, blue and yellow or purple and orange.  They contrast so much that they bounce off each other.  That is what I see in this picture.  It is interesting....lol.  Some people love it and others make a face....lol.  To each his/her own tastes.  I am sure some child is going to love the brightness of the colours.  It's definitely vibrant and cheerful!!

Take care everyone.
