Design Wall Monday - July 8

 Happy birthday to the one who made me a mother!  Daughter #1.  She's a busy wife and hard working mom of 3 kids and 3 dogs.  

This morning we're meeting her and her husband to play golf to celebrate.  Happy birthday Jerilyn!


My design wall today is full of the parts and pieces for the 2nd month's clue for Tranquility mystery quilt (Bear Creek Quilting).  A few more narrow strips for the 9-patches still need to be cut. 


July's block is quite similar to last month's block, with the switch to the light gold in that upper corner.  There will be 12 of these blocks total, compared to the 4 last month.  We still have the lighter blue that we haven't used at all yet.  My blues are more teal than blue. 


Another item on my design wall is the Zipper quilt blocks.  I need just 1 more block to finish this quilt, and the colors will need a bit of rearranging before I sew them together.  I'm hoping this will be a completed flimsy before next Monday.  

Today I'm linking up with Design Wall Monday . . .

Happy birthday to your Jerilyn and I hope you al have a lovely day of golf to celebrate! By the way, I also love her haircut. And I'm just smitten with those zipper blocks -- is that a pattern I can find somewhere? It looks like a great way to use up scraps!

Happy Birthday to your daughter! I am sure you will zip those zipper blocks right up into a flimsy;)

Happy Birthday to your daughter! I really like your colors for the Bear Creek mystery - that floral is so pretty. I had my zipper blocks out yesterday, too - need a few more before I start sewing those together!

Hope you all had a grand golf outing to celebrate the birthday girl. I looked at Bear Creek's mastery but decided not to do it. I really like your zipper blocks... I'm trying to be strong and not start anything new unless it's been kitted up all cut and ready to sew at my upcoming retreat.

I hope you had good golfing weather! Your daughter has the same birthday as my Dad--he would've been 99 years old today. We always remember. Your mystery quilt fabrics are adorable!!! Great looking zipper quilt, too!
