Ah the sweet comfort of following specific instructions to complete a project from start to finish. Soothing balm to my overwhelmed, frazzled, and stressed brain.
My mom chose Sunny Sunflower Block on page 66 for May 2026.
I made three of these blocks.
One inspired by the evening primrose around our house…
One inspired by the globemallow around our house…
And one inspired by sunflowers! 🌻
I’m still working on getting my pattern/color combinations right. They always look different in my head. I never quite love them when they’re finished.
My mom made two as usual.
Lori Holt’s pattern has a lot of wasted fabric and my mom devised a system to save some of the leftover as half square triangles (HST). Now, what to do with all these random extra HSTs?
Next up, my daughter chose Fresh Pears Block on page 32 for June.
heavens to betty
