Birthday Girl Blocks, Stash Report

I usually only give a stash report when I've added or used some fabric, but I wanted to show my birthday girl blocks for Celtic Solstice.  These blocks used the 2 units, the chevron and corner blocks, that were the least accurate of my clues.  Most of them went together OK, but had to do some unsewing and restitching.  The beauty of a  scrappy 9 inch block with 52 pieces is that little imperfections, a point missing here and there, don't really take away from the design.  Here are my 61 birthday girl blocks.

 
Everyone who has seen these blocks talks about how 'colorful' or 'bright' this quilt is going to be. 
 
Used this week: 0 yard

I also have to sneak in another picture of my tulips.  Three are blooming now. 
 
 One bud got broken off, so I clipped it off and have it in a juice glass in the kitchen.  That one is starting to open now.

You are just flying along with those CS blocks. They have such a fun bunch of fabrics in them. Your tulips are beautiful. I've never seen tulips in bloom in January! They look more red now than pink.
