This is my version of "Sunlight in the Forest", a quilt in Kaffe Fassett's "Quilts in Sweden" book. I used my own choice of fabrics but used the same inner border fabric as the original quilt.
I used Hobbs 80/20 batting and it was quilted by longarmer Robin Diaz.
It is 67.5" x 87".
Here is a photo from a 2018 post showing the quilt in the book. (click on the photo for a closer view.) I finished making the quilt top in June 2018.
I used 2 fabrics on the back because I didn't have enough of either one of them for the whole back. I mentioned I would show the whole back when it was done but it is large and was a struggle to get up on the design wall. I didn't have the energy to take it down, turn it over and hang it back up again. The second photo on this post shows the Hydrangea fabric the best.
After I filled the birdfeeders I checked to see if anything was growing in the back garden. I found this one Peony peeking out of the ground. Only one other was up and not as high as this one.
This Lungwort/Pumonaria plant is snugged up next to the rocks along the edge of the path through the garden.
This is the first bloom open on the third Lenten Rose plant. Most of the buds look pink but it is on the outside of these petals and around the edges. This one was barely open so the center of the flower isn't fully formed yet.
I need to keep documenting the progress on these plants. This is their third blooming year in my garden. At the left behind them are pots filled with Hostas that I dug out of my front garden. I hope they survived the winter tucked up next to the house in double pots.
This is the third plant. I haven't trimmed off the dead leaves from last year yet. I think I'll be out doing some clean up next week.
