Secret Garden and Applique

Happy Friday!  Here's the new applique' project that I've been working on. 
I keep changing my mind about this project, which is totally okay.
My center block started like this~
It looked a bit too sparse to me and off balance.  I added 5 leaves to fill in a bit.  I also shortened the berry sprig. 
I found all sort of bits of UFOs and orphan and block swaps to use. 
 I changed my mind from the flying geese border to a 4 patch border.  OOOPS now I have to remove and re-attach a new border that is divisible by 2"
 I'm taking these old block apart and re-purposing them.
 I've got block on every surface of my sewing room.
I think I'll be happy to have the little patches first.
 
Yesterday coco and I visited this garden in Clinton again.  
This time I walked around the outside border and was delighted to discover this Charming Fairy Garden!
Here is a little tour for you.
Tiny house in an old grist mill stone.
Here is my favorite.  I'd happily live here.
 
Here is a photo for scale.  Coco looks like a giant!  No wonder I missed this on previous visits.
 I hope this cheered your day!
stay well
