Flower Sugar

The Summer that never was - wettest in 17 years - is officially over and we've transitioned into Autumn without noticeable difference.  Those of you who have been dancing and praying for rain to break the decade long drought can now stop.  Enough rain already.

The one good thing about a cloudy day is how the light lends itself to taking half decent pictures.  This bundle of fabric is Flower Sugar by Lecien.  Sweet and pretty floral prints don't usually make it into my stash, but an exception was made for these strikingly colorful fabrics. Red, green, blue, yellow ... pink.

I have been busy processing another batch of half square triangles.  It felt like it had been a while since my last HST project, but not so.  140+ HST blocks are pieced and trimmed.

I have teamed up the Flower Sugar prints together with some of those from Tanya Whelan's Delilah range and contrasted the prints with a grey semi-solid.  The grey fabric is a Shot Cotton by Kaffe Fassett (SC67 - grey).  I think I have found a (another) new favorite fabric!

Now joining blocks into to rows.  It's coming together just as I'd imagined.

What have you been working on this week?
