Just FYI, it is not a good idea to try to take outdoor pictures in the wind! It's also interesting how all the coloring is of the quilt in different lighting!

Here are a few outdoor pics of the quilt top!
The field behind has garbanzo beans growing.
My favorite picture taking spot in our woods.
I am in a small group and we are making wallhangings or pillows in a birthday exchange. The person I was given requested a wallhanging but I had no idea of her color likes! I was also in a half square triangle challenge and we had to use at least 40 fabrics. I decided to combine the two projects into one. I took the clematis flower applique from the book Flower Show Quilts, but designed the background. The wallhanging measures 16 X 20 and yes there are actually 41 fabrics in the quilt counting the yellow flower centers!
I LOVE purple iris! I am not a flower gardener and have a lot of work to do on this section. It's a slope between my garage and driveway. Don't look at the weeds!

Great outdoor pictures. What fun to swap birthday quilts. I need the rearrange my iris too. I would like a few new colors also.
Your quilt is beautiful, as are the photos! You have some great places to take your quilt photos. I love purple iris, too, and min need to be divided, also! What a great birthday quilt exchange. If the recipient doesn't like it, I know someone else you can send it to! :D
Julie you are so productive, and your quilts just beautiful! I played with the idea of making the same large quilt, but have settled for a smaller version to merge various boxes of scraps. The applique quilt is lovely too, nice colors and I love the scrappy light background.
Does this mean that she has claimed the quilt? :) haha! Great exchange project too!
Love the variety of fabric prints you used in your 40 HST challenge!
Oh that is just amazing!!! LOVE all the color movement!
