I spent St. Patrick's Day mostly in the garden, where there isn't a ton of green yet, but in the evening, I was able to audition all my greens (Who knew I had 18 different verdant hues in my stash?!?) to extend my Spoonflower sunflower cheater panel just a bit.
I also was able to find Lizard's stash in the basement. I thought I remembered some sunflower fabric he'd asked me to buy for him because he wanted to make a sunflower quilt years ago. I think that was before the pandemic and before Parkinson's took such a heavy toll on him. I might be able to incorporate some of the sunflower fabric on the quilt back. I have some ideas that involve more leftovers, but the sunflower theme might need a bit of a boost.
While digging around looking for Lizard's stash, I also found a charm square rag quilt project he'd started before he was diagnosed. I'm going to try to get him back into the project now. I don't know if he will be able to do it, but maybe with a little help, art therapy can be back in full swing!
