I picked my UFO project for June and encouraged my Vermont Quilting FB group to join in. I just had the 16 patch blocks when I started Saturday. I made those last year with the RSC Challenge. Hopefully this will be a finished quilt by the end of June. The pattern is Goodnight Irene and I love how it is looking in the scrappy colors. Excuse the messy floor.....not much area in the sewing room for display and everything extra gets shoved into my space. The kids and I will be working a bit each day this week to clean up in there in the afternoons.
Linking up in June with OMG for the June One Monthly Goal.
I did some outside work yesterday and the heat did me in. A splitting headache yesterday evening had me in bed by 5 for the night. Feeling much better today... and love how my planting area came out. Just need one more white bee balm to put in there and some mulch. Greg pulled the bushes out of there last weekend... they were trimmed down last year and then a frost got them. They didn't come back well so we decided to take them out. I'm going to love these perennials with a pop of sunny colors - yellow, white and orange - as I enter my house. Yikes, the driveway really needs to be power washed. Living in Florida it is a constant fight with mold with all the humidity.
Today will be a BBQ of some Ribs with my MIL and FIL coming over for some pool time in the back yard. Greg has been busy building a deck for it yesterday and today. Me.... I guess the house needs to get picked up and food needs to get made. Potato salad, dip for chips, and a taco salad. First.... I need to pop to the bowling alley (why are they bowling on a holiday?) and deliver some Avon orders. Must get moving.

That's a great use of your 16-patch blocks. Another beautiful RSC quilt almost done! I'm sure you will enjoy the perennial garden. I've been out cleaning mine up today, after neglecting things at the end of last summer. I was almost done when the thunder started :( Just another hour was all I needed!
I'm not normally a fan of random scrappiness, but I think your scrappy Goodnight Irene is absolutely spectacular!
I'm also working on a scrappy Good Night Irene quilt as well. I just need to get a few more of my squares blocks done.
Your design floor looks great! We are weeding like nobody's business - we still haven't planted a thing!
The design floor looks great as does your landscaping work; just beautiful! :)
