Super duper hot out there. 98 degrees now. Real Feel 107. I watered at 7:30 this morning so that the stream didn’t evaporate. We walked Finn early.

Big tear day. I never know why exactly, although at this point the better question might be on the rare day that I don’t cry, why not?

I’d chop this one up if there were four sensible quadrants, but stuff would be sacrificed and I’m not willing, so chaotic it will remain!

We quilters love to show off the backs of our work, don’t we? MR — I hope that doesn’t make me a “braggy quilter”!

I had fun extending patterning across seam lines with appliqué and stitch (like the flowers and butterflies). I also took the liberty of outlining a house or two to make them more distinct. I’m gonna call this one done.
