Audra's Iris Garden: Update


My daughter-in-law's birthday is March 10, and I am about halfway finished with her quilt - eeek! The pattern (Two Block Delight) and the fabrics (Audra's Iris Garden by Moda) are detailed
in this post.

After completing the "snowball" blocks, I laid out the darker squares for the "simplicity" blocks. After I diagonally marked the corner squares, chain-piecing made quick work of producing the corner squares.




I laid the fabrics out and mixed and matched till I was satisfied with the combination.


Katy assisted me by stretching her black fluffiness across the table.


I sewed the rows together to complete the Simplicity blocks.


I rearranged the Simplicity and Snowball blocks on my display board and have begun to sew the rows together.


Last night I made a pieced border and will use that along with a solid tan border and a darker purple print for the final border and back.



More to come!

    1. Jennifer thanks for the encouragement. Yes I fell in love with that collection the minute I saw it. I still have quite a bit of it left, so I'll be enjoying it for awhile.
