Poppies, jasmine and squares

OK, so it's not quite next week yet, but I had to drop by to show you something before I disappear for a few days again.
Hey, it's summer.
The weather's great and there's some seaside lazyness in my near future.
Couldn't get much better.

Look at this beauty.

And it's giant bright orange red neighbor.
My hand and the bottom of the flower are at the same level.

mmm... my jasmine bushes are in bloom this week.
Walk past our fence and you are in scent heaven.

And I've been finally cutting up those Marimekko fabric bits I'd been collecting:

The white squares are from 60 yr old sheets. Some are embroidered with my grandma's initials. It still needs a border and it's nowhere near done.
But I'm hoping I'll get it done so we can use it in a few weeks.
Because this will be our new picnic quilt.
I'm itching to get it done.
