baby quilts and yard shots

I've been busy lately working on putting together some baby quilt tops from redwork blocks I've worked on over the years. I've just mainly stored the sets of blocks into themes as I've finished them and decided that I needed to go ahead and set them into a top. This way I will have some finished tops to grab when I need a baby gift and put together with batting and backing and then tie. Quick and easy. As I finish each set, I've folded them and store in gallon ziplocks and all into a bin. I plan to show photos of all I've managed to finish and will post a few here each time I post. So here are my first few. 
This one is a duckling and I used a plaid seersucker I had in my stash. I used this same fabric in the next one that is a sunbonnet sue standing on hills.

I will show a few each time I post so this is all for today.

A few shots around our place....
We have had so much rain that the toadstools have popped up. These were so strange looking. This was the largest and is large as a salad plate and flat. It looks like a purple ring around the edge.

We have a catalpa tree that I bought for Sonny for a father's day present years ago. It has gotten huge and sadly no worms. Sonny loves to catfish using the worms but we have only had the worms the trees are known for 2 years. This tree leans terribly but is gorgeous. It is in full bloom and the blooms look almost like a cross between an orchid and a trumpet. They smell heavenly and draw tiny white butterflies. 



The blooms look like snow and that is what draws the butterflies.

More photos coming later.
And as always.....
