Tractor Quilts



So we were on the patio
and we saw this small tractor mowing the grass
in the field out front
and it reminded me that I really should have photographed
(and gifted) the 2 tractor quilts that I have had completed for a while now...

Of course photographing them
with the tractor in the background
was another story!



so I tried another few options...

In the end
on the grass, seemed the only way to see them properly...


I had some 'help' as always...

One 'helper' even climbed on the wall
to help secure a quilt.
I caught him in action as he jumped off....

I love the blue cloud-filled sky....


Some close ups....


The whole design idea of the row quilt
was the blue sky,
the fields,
the tractors,
the sheep...

More close-ups...



And while I photographed.
Some gardened...

and some played....

and some bloomed...
(at last!)

Your tractors are positively adorable. They look exactly like identical twins (or would it quintuplets) to the one in the field? Sweet quilts.

Those quilts are gorgeous! (And what a clever way of making a small amount of appliqué go a long way!)
