Getting started with the neutrals...

Playing with this landscape project earlier in the week put me in the mood for sandy neutrals.  I shared this one in my Tuesday post, but have added a couple of borders since I last showed it.


A couple of other sandy neutrals made some zipper blocks - shells and starfish and footprints in the sand - my favorite things!

And a little village with elephants in it - totally off the sandy theme, but cute anyway!

Here are the zipper blocks I've made this year - 30 of them.  I'm planning to continue these into 2024.


What have you been up to this week?

  1. Gorgeous fabrics that you have chosen for the landscape quilt and the little sandy zipper blocks are as cute as a button. Your quilt is growing. Not a lot of quilting has gone here. I do need to get busy this weekend. Enjoy your day, Diann. Hugs.

  8. Addin the neutral blocks seemed to calm the others down just a bit and at the same time adding it's own sparkle.
