Not a lot of sewing this week, taking it easy a bit. I did get Anna's birthday quilt top together. When I asked her what color she wanted her birthday quilt she immediately said "every color in the rainbow". I made a birthday quilt for her sister earlier in the year and someone had been hoping I asked her this question :) Well I didn't have every color but I did have 34. I'm going to quilt this with the baptist fans to look like rainbows. I also ordered some variegated rainbow thread which should be a lot of fun!
I also have been working on the hexie's. Yep I have a hand work project. Not sure where it will go or when it will be done, just enjoying the process for now.

Great colors and the black sets it off so well.
ReplyDeleteI wondered how this quilt would look with a black background. I made one with white. Thanks for the eye candy!
