Some of This; Some of That

Destashing:  One back for isolette top, 2 RSC challenge blocks, 11 blocks to finish other baby quilt top = 1.3 yds out - giving me  53.38 yds YTD out of my stash.  I'm linking to quiltpaintcreate's Sunday Stash.  I'll be linking to a few other parties. See my tab under the header. Click on more. 

Here are the RSC blocks (my BOMs Away for this week:



These are blocks Pat Sloan is sharing for her Summer Solstice she is sharing at I Love to Make Quilts site.  They're to the quilt top stage already - I'm behind.

Here is view from my front door to my DH's planting in the front of the house. Lol, we don't have grass.
The tall plant with the poofy flower heads is an Alluaudia procera from Madagascar. In fact several of the plantings there are from that country. People stop to take photos.  The one behind it is a Canary Island palm in our across the street neighbor's front yard. It got a recent hair cut. Personally, I'd have left all the leaves to give shade for this already hot summer. The three Washingtonia palms are also in their yard.  They must be near 100 ft. tall.

I hope you are having a nice quilty day with some slow stitching. I've prepped some more Bliss hexies to sew while I watch Father Brown tonight.  Blessings.

  4. I had a Madagascar palm as a house plant for several years. It was more like a spiney cactus with a topknot of leaves.
