This quilt was originally inspired by the Jen Kingwell Pick a Petal Quilt but I went a bit off course. One of her blocks was a glorified nine patch and I made about a quilt and a half of uneven nine patches. I was next going to appliqué the wedges but didn't like how much that would have hidden the background. So I played around with paper cutouts of curves and came up with the quarter circle arcs. The appliqué is a bit slow going because I am slow going.
I am still making blocks for the Stonefield quilt by Susan Smith. I really like the block on top but think it may be too bright for the quilt. But I will wait and see when I put all the blocks together. This was an incredibly easy block to make...given I changed the block from having mitered corners to partial seams.
And here are some cross blocks for the Stonefield quilt.
This morning as I was heading out on a morning walk, I noticed a nosy neighbor right on the property line daring me to say something. I didn't.

You can't go wrong with, "Good morning, handsome! How is Mrs. Mallard?"
Your version of "Pick a Petal" is inspirational!
