August is here, it's hard to believe that summer is almost over. Seems like summers fly by too quickly. Soon the evenings will start to cool down and the leaves on my one maple tree will start to turn, it's always the first tree. I have a little touch of autumn in the middle of August. The garden seems slow this year... only one tomato so far, I'm hoping for more of course. (We've have had a lot of rain this year.) I have picked a couple of nice batches of green beans. I roasted them in the oven with a little bit of olive oil and seasoned them with salt and pepper, so yummy.
In case you are just starting the BOM, the fabric requirements are below. Everything is based on a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square and this month's pattern can be found on my website for free this month. It's not too late to join, I actually pieced this quilt during a retreat and only spent two of the days putting the blocks together. That included lots of breaks for snacks and visiting so I know that you can easily catch up if you are just joining us.
2 yards contrasting color
2 1/2 yards cream background
3/4 yard for the border
1/2-yard binding

Beautiful and creative. I also love your blog background and blog header image! I am a nature and animal lover, and the dog is absolutely adorable! Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
