I'm not sure what I'm doing with it next, but I'm thinking of some green vines and maybe a couple of leaves on the outer border? Any ideas or suggestions? This is inspired by a picture in a magazine, but I don't have an actual pattern.
I also started playing around with my blocks today from the Quick Christmas Bee. I have an idea for how I want to set them, and I'm taking them to a quilt shop tomorrow, hoping for some advice from experts. Here's what I have so far, compliments of Cat, Jackie, Jodi, Manuela, Isabel, and Ana Maria.I requested a star block from each of them, and a block of their choice.
I also have siggy blocks from everyone, and they will be incorporated into the backing.
I received my September block from Penny today for Block Swap Adventure. It's a wonderful block of pinks and greens. Some day soon, I'll have to photograph all of them together. For now, you can see all that I've received on one page if you click on the BSA page under my header photo.
In other miscellaneous news, I'm taking a needle turn applique class tomorrow. I've tried a couple of times without much luck, so it's time to learn the right way to do it.
Hubby's last radiation treatment was Tuesday! We haven't seen much improvement in his pain levels yet, but we're hoping for daily improvement. The doc told him that within a week, he should feel about 80% better, and 100% after two weeks.
The airwaves have been monopolized with remembrances of 9/11. I can't believe that it's been 10 years. It seems like yesterday. May we always remember.

Your quilt is so precious! You did a great job piecing it. I would put green vines on maybe two sides with some flowers. It will be so pretty when its all quilted. Praying your husband will feel better, stronger soon.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of your photos. Your quilt top turned out great. Love it. Love all of your blocks from your bee too. :) It sure doesn't seem like 10 years ago does it. Still kind of unbelievable. :( I agree..seems like yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOH and CONGRATS! to hubby!!! And to you too. What an ordeal for you both it must have been. That is the best news I've heard all day. Praying he gains strength and loses pain each day!
ReplyDeleteI love the hexie quilt... and your idea with some leaves and vines....
ReplyDeleteI so clearly remember watching the news with such horror ten years ago... remembering with great respect....
I only met you recently so didn't realise about your hubbies radiation treatment... glad it is coming to an end and look forward to hearing the pain levels are down....

I love your flower quilt so much - vines would be darling, but I just read your Gwen Marston quote at the top of your page and I'm sitting here nodding in agreement with her, lol!! Your Christmas blocks are just awesome, I can't wait to see that put together. Good luck with your needleturn class!
ReplyDeleteVERY happy to hear about hubby....praying that the pain leaves even quicker than that, and that he gets right back to normal!
I absolutely love your hexagon flower quilt and vines around the edge would really finish it off. Hope hubby feels that 100% better sooner rather than later. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou have been working like mad to finish that wonderful hexie quilt.I love it. Vines and some flowers will give it a great look. I too would like to take a needle turn class. Hope your husband gets better in a couple of days. He is been suffering for too long.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I love your black-eyed Susan quilt. Could it be anything to do with the name? For the border, how about appliqueing a few more hexies, maybe smaller ones, randomly on the borders.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite busy getting things done these days.
ReplyDeleteThings are looking loverly your way....
WOW Sunny your Black Eyed Susan Quilt looks great and I think some green vines and leaves will really set it off.
ReplyDeleteChristmas blocks are good as is.
Lovely Swap Block.
We will never forget.
The quilt is great! I agree that it is hard to believe that it has been 10 years.
ReplyDeleteYour hexie flower quilt is wonderful and I'm loving your Christmas quilt, too. I especially like the "merry" block in the center! Hope your hubby feels better... have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteHoping your hubby is feeling better soon. My gosh girl, you are a whirlwind! Love what you did with the hexies. I like your ideas to add to it.

ReplyDeleteLove your hexie - flowers, Sunny - what a lovely setting with the sashings and your colours are just gorgeous. Best wishes to your hubby with his recovery :-) I'm wondering how your needleturn class went....hope you learnt lots and mastered some techniques?
ReplyDeleteQuite an ordeal you all have been through, I'm praying for him to gain strength and feel better and still for you too. I'm so happy to hear he's had his last treatment! Lovely sunny quilt I like the idea of vines and leaves and Quilt Sue had a good idea of some more hexies in the border.
ReplyDeleteYour hexie quilt is fabulous Sunny! I have a Grandmother's Fan I made in very similar colors but not NEAR as much work as yours.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your black-eyed susan quilt! Vines in the border would be lovely.
