I made major efforts yesterday and finished off the blue quilt, the pieced border is now finished and it is ready for sending to the quilter. My Y2K quilt has the sashing fixed and the border is now cut out, then this one too will be ready for the quilter. Both are too large for me to do at home.

My garden is beginning to repay some of the work I have put into it. Here is a picture of a gorgeous yellow iris that has just begun to bloom:
