I think the key to this quilt is how you have kept with the same color palette--primary (rby) all in with same level of intensity and then you throw in lighter shades of blue and yellow. Dash on a little pepper--white and black and you have a quilt that's cooking!

Thanks for sharing this journey with us...I can't wait to see more. Love your work, but this is really special, the sunflowers, the words....this whole thing is choc-a-block with love and healing. Hope your pain eases...I know what it is like, and wishing your sister all the best from the land of Aus.

Today I remembered that my sister loves cardinals so I made the cardinal block. It is different than I envisioned it, lol, but that ribbon was so hard to put on there, I'm leaving it, dangit!
I also made an apple block to remind her to eat healthy!! And a 'garden' block for taking time to play in the garden. You can do that in California!! LOL. Here it's snowing............ AGAIN!

I am liking this layout. Any comments or suggestions on it before I start sewing sections together? I have looked at it so much, I could easily be not seeing it clearly any more.
Is this a good one?

This is turning out just gorgeous. What you can do (if you're so inclined) with the blue ribbon is run a basting stitch by hand on the inner edge. Pull it just enough to gather slightly so it will lie flat. You can then sew it down with little stitches. Just something to think about . . . .
