Summer Flowers

 
Summer flowers are my favorite when they are in full bloom.  Roaming around the garden and taking time out of a busy day to take a few pictures, capturing their beauty before they fade away is my mission today. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
These were just adorable, though I do not know what they are.  Their colors were bright and cheerful almost like ice cream sorbet.  These combinations would make a lovely summer quilt. 
 
I think I will try out some improv techniques using the shapes of the summer flowers and the color combinations found here.  Now to scour my fabric stash to see if I can replicate them.
