Jeanelle McCall wrote an article in Quilting Arts magazine Issue 50 called "spring in full Bloom". I didn't want to start the big project that's been on my mind for months so I procrastinated and played with Jeanelle's fabric strip background, layered circle flowers and small contrasting dots.
"Sunny Blossoms" – 11 3/4 x 12 3/4"
On this one I added some leaves.
"Purple Tulip" – 7 3/8 x 8 1/8"
I stuck with Jeanelle's strip background but I quilted it, tried a tulip and added leaves.
"Bloom Where you are Planted" – 8 x 7 3/8"
This one has Jeanelle's strip background and circle flower but I added a secondary background and stitched the stem and leaves.
These little experiments will be donated.

Cool! I seem to have started some minis today by accident. I'm avoiding a larger project, it's just too hot! These little ones will be try outs for the big one. Were living parallel lives again! ;-)
Can't wait to see your big project, because your samples are fabulous! The layering is great.
Super idea to have projects that can be completed quickly.
When I saw these flowers in the magazine article, I thought to play in a small way by mending/fuzing/stitching some flowers on some ripped jeans. The products of your play are much more elegant.
I love the idea of using this method for mending. Thanks for sharing.
