Hip hip hooray it got done. I took it to work to show my colleague that had requested the make and she loved it. I was half hoping that she wouldn't like it and I could keep it for myself as I am loving this project more than when I started it. The original was a big 9 block quilt but as it is more of a throw for a child, four blocks were about my limit. Keeping it simple.
I ventured out in the frosty garden this morning to take a pic...
It will have the binding done in the red. It seems so difficult to get a pic that shows the colours accurately. They are quite bright and cheery.
Off to the quilter's this week hopefully....
and now just because some of you asked for it......
some pics of the entire Park Avenue Hexie quilt..
and this one just because I love those fussy cut birds.
Last week I did some cutting out of 6 Sweet William blocks so they are all ready to be pieced.
Now that the machine baltimore is done I am one step closer to my new start!
Woo Hoo!
hope you all have a wonderful week

Love the hexie quilt!!!! Thanks for the photo. Did you use just one line of fabric? Your Baltimore is very nice, too. I'm getting ready to start my first Baltimore album, and I'm thinking 4 blocks, but they won't all be the same. Wish me luck!
