Patchwork and new plants

Dave and I bought two new plants at the florist today.
We needed something that would stand the heat of the midday sun to place either side of the front door.
We decided on plants that are nick named 'Spanish flag plants'.
They will eventually grow into a bush which flowers for most of the summer.

They look lovely and colourful beside the front door

 I have also been sewing some patchwork by machine using some of my scraps.
I have no idea what to make with it....but it does need ironing.

Some 1" patchwork squares I am working on ...
