I cut and prepped another 6 hexie flowers yesterday. But that is not what I want to show you. I watched a quilting show yesterday afternoon. It was a Fons and Porter episode. I love those! Marianne demonstrated a block that she used for a large quilt. It's a very simple block. I decided to make a couple just to have them when I decide to do something new. I made 4 blocks.
These blocks are 5 1/2 inches and finish at 5 inches. That means I will need a lot of them. I think this quilt will be a terrific stash buster. But I have no idea when I will get around to starting it. .
Also, yesterday afternoon, I planted some spring bulbs into the urns by my front door. Spring is kind of slow in coming this year and not much is blooming in the garden yet. So I bought some bulb plants in pots. There are daffodils, tulips, hyacinth and pansies. I should have taken a photo yesterday when the sun was in the west. The pictures would have turned out much better. I took these this morning. Maybe I will take a few more shots when the sun has moved around.
I bought plants that were not in full bloom yet because I want them to last a bit longer.
This daffodil was not open yesterday, but it is starting to open now. I love spring! Oh, have I said that before?

I love spring and bulbs too. A little colour is a nice thing when we are all waiting for the grass to green up. I also watched the same Fons and Porter program.
Yay, spring!
Spring makes me happy! And looking at your spring pictures makes me happy too 😃
