Another question was what exactly I did to create that background. The fabric you see is many different creamy/neutral fabrics cut into small mosaic pieces. Again, the tutorial will explain my methods. The tutorial will be available by mid June, if all goes well, perhaps even sooner. Here's a close up of the background.
I shared the many pieces of fabric I cut for this background a couple of posts ago. Remember the cookie sheet photo??? Well after creating the background I did have some fabric pieces left over and I put them all in a zip-lock bag. This bag is 8" x 8" and I could still fit more in there, so it's not overly full. I'll save these for another project.
I have been a very bad sketcher lately. I have fallen very behind in drawing my Creative Cues. Before today I was six words behind. Now I'm only four words behind because I sketched a couple of the words this morning.
This sketch shows a beverage that is mostly full, and a peeking kitty who is full of curiosity.
This sketch shows a pocket full of sunshine.
And finally, I completed this quilt a couple of days ago and finally got a good day for photographing it. I finished the edges with a brown fabric binding. I thought of black at first, my usual favorite, but I thought I'd go with brown instead as I thought it fit this color scheme quite well.

I loved the version of the tulips on this quilt on May 20th.
I like your choice of brown binding on this quilt. It turned out so nice. Love the sketches, too.
Very cute sketches. The kitty ears on "full" really tell a story about what is about to happen.
I must have been channeling you, because a couple days a go I pulled fabrics from my stash for a new quilt, and they match your spring tulips. Even down to the fact that I had planned to use black as sashing, and switched it out for brown! Must be in the air....
