Here are the rest...a purple butterfly for my 4yo dgd who is plum crazy for both.
And a photo quilt for the friend who keeps his garden on my farm, and manages to 'till my garden every time he does his own! One of those people who is so hard to buy for but always manages to do such nice things for me. But I think I got him this time! Photos are of his restored antique tractor, and of him in the garden.

The reverse is also pieced. Mostly because I picked too many fabrics for the quilt, and they didn't all work together (better planning next time??). But the variety of veggies and flowers he grows are well represented, so it works out fine.

Matching pillowcase. And lots of leftovers for the stash (woo-hoo!).

I used fq for some of the blocks but didn't buy enough so had to make 2 different blocks.

the 2nd block type. I would have preferred a fancier quilting but didn't trust my FMQ skills yet so stuck to a very large stippling pattern, which for the most part turned out okay. Only had to rip a couple small areas and redo them. The red stitching does tie together nicely.
