Delightfully Dizzy! (Patagonia, AZ)

I finished making the Delightfully Dizzy quilt top.  Every time I thought I was done making blocks...I decided to add more. This challenge turned into a lot of fun!  I finally ran out of squares to make more blocks and the quilt is only lap size.
This is going to be a fantastic springtime quilt.  I can't wait to finish it now.
 
I had so much fun, I could not resist adding appliqué to the top.  I did manage to control myself and I only added one flower to the top corner.

  4. Love the nature photos! What a sweet deer. We seem to have them flocking around our neighborhood in the city because of the wooded areas. Had some close calls a few times this year already with them prancing in front yards and the edge of the street. Also love that flower applique on the quilt!

  5. The applique is a perfect finishing touch! Are you going to hand-quilt this one too? The javelina remind me of the children's book,The Three Little Javelina. I've been day dreaming about children's quilts since we have a new grandson and that would be a great Texas theme!

  6. Beautiful quilt top and I love that flower! As always I enjoy your nature photos. That owl blends right into the tree. You have to know he's there to see him.
