It's funny, but I wasn't all that keen on the quilt before but I really like it now that the borders are on. I went with a paler blue for the outside border. There is this colour in the blocks. The other blue was a tad darker but it just didn't feel quite right.
I love the colour of my geraniums. They are just on the back deck and I can see them whenever I am in the kitchen.
The bluejays were a bit loud early this morning.
The sun was in the way and that's why these photos are so dull. Click on them so you can see them a bit better. That is a pear in the tree. We didn't get many last year and it looks like there are even fewer this year. The squirrels and raccoons like them and I suppose the birds do too but there really aren't many on this tree. Perhaps it's too old or needs pruning.
Perhaps you could try putting little 'bags' of sheer fabric around the pears (tie them on with twist ties)...that might protect them from the critters.
ReplyDeleteDarling quilt, Dolores - glad to see someone sewing, lol! I love the color of your geraniums too, they're such a happy flower. Made me smile to see it. We have apple trees here, but we've never had an apple off of them - the squirrels and deer get to them first.
ReplyDeleteFunny how a border can make the change. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe lonely pear. Glad blue jays are keepong it company.
The borders are just right for this one! Beautiful flowers. I hope the pear survives!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is lovely. I like the photo of the jay in a pear tree (could be a slightly warped Christmas card).
