These sub assemblies for the Old Town mystery are now complete. Woohoo! It's time to start assembling blocks.
Patty who blogs at Patty "The Quilt Lady" noticed my cactus in the watering can in one of my previous posts. It normally sits by the window, but with our temps dropping below zero caused me to move it away from the window. I figured that the wall between it and the cold vs. being by the window was a good choice for it. I brought ONE little shoot of the cactus with one long root home from school. It was a start that a teacher that I subbed for allowed me to have. I love collecting plants from desks of those for whom I sub. The other little succulents are the survivors of an after Christmas sale two years ago that came from Lowes. They were originally in a christmas cookie tin.
Old Town is a mystery quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter. Check out the free quilt along while it is still live on her blog here.

I love succulents. I have a huge collection of Christmas cactus that I enjoy all over the place. Wish I had more windows! The subunits look wonderful.
Thanks for the shout-out. Your little cactus succulent garden is wonderful. I have gotten better at keeping my succulents alive. I had a tendency to overwater them. Right now I don't have any cactus. Besides my plants at home, there are big windows at work and I have five plants so far.
Pretty colors and blocks for your BH quilt! Fun story about your cactus, too! I had to move my Christmas cactus away from the window, so I know just what you're talking about.
Beautiful colors you have chosen for the BH Mystery Quilt. Love your cactus/succulent story. Living in the tropics, all our plants are outside, they tend not to thrive inside.
