The black eyed Susan is the state flower of Maryland, which is where I live. I've always loved them. Several years ago, I collected a few little porcelain quilts, and one of them was a black eyed Susan. I'd love to find a pattern to make this quilt.
Last week I saw a picture of a quilt in a magazine, and knew that I must make it. It took me about thirty seconds to decide that I would do it in the colors of black eyed Susans. I already had some yellow fabrics, and
Marianne found the perfect brown for the centers during our little shopping expedition last week. I've been making hexies like crazy since then. I can't stop!! I need a total of 29.
I'd like to get them all finished, because I think I signed up for not one but TWO quiltalongs that start tomorrow. That's in addition to my Stay at Home Robin. Aack - what was I thinking? Oh yeah, I was thinking about fun and about quilts, of course.
In other news, I received my September hexies today from Jan for the Inchy Swap. They're perfect for my garden, and came with the cutest card.

WooHoo!! I reached 100 followers today. I was shocked and amazed when I got my first follower, so this makes me very happy. I've never made being a follower a condition for any of my giveaways, as I prefer to write for people who enjoy coming here and leaving the occasional comment. Thanks to all 100 of you. Stay tuned as there may be a small giveaway coming to celebrate.
