My Carolina Lily quilt has become a production line - lily flowers at various construction stages

| Pile of bias stem, and lots of English paper piecing |

| a few finished blocks |
Meanwhile, I may have contracted
yellow-and-greenitis (I am sure there is such a thing) ... because I couldn't resist starting another little yellow and green project. Some time ago I got the pattern/hardware for Brigitte Giblin's Little Hexagon Purse.

I have long had a much-treasured little (
really little) collection of Smithsonian yellow and greens. Then I recently topped these up with a lovely purchase from
Sherri. At about the same time ( lovely coincidence )
Kathie very kindly helped me out with some green that I had run out of for my Baltimore Album quilt. I can spare a very tiny bit of that. So now my collection looked like this:

| Smithsonian greens and yellows |
It seemed just the right project to use these fabrics - and as they are all only small pieces it needed a small project. The purse will be made entirely of half inch English paper pieced hexagons. Here is one side completed:
Now it seems I am working on three EPP projects at once - can't have too much of a good thing?! There are stars ( Mary Leggett's star bouquet quilt), the Carolina Lily and the Hexagon purse.
Just to show the comparative sizes of the project pieces...
There has been quite a lot of yellow and green in the garden too!

Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow :)
