Hexagon Quilt WIP

Hexagon fever has hit the last couple of days! Really wanting  to finish up a WIP, I hauled out my Old Red Barn Co. Quilt-Along project from a while back. The colors are fallish, I think, so it's a great quilt to be working on with all the color going on outside my window!

I'm wondering if I might want some sort of border on this lap size quilt. There are several pieces of the Hope Valley fabrics left, so that would certainly be doable.

Putting this quilt together is a little different than most quilts that I make.  Each hexagon is put together one half at a time and then the rows will be sewn together so that the hexagons are completed.  I like the way the hexes are off set with this setting.

Julie, from Jaybird Quilts, was the brains behind the various hexagon designs. She did a wonderful job of leading the quilt along.  I have no excuse for being so late in getting it done...I hope to have a finish to show you soon!
Next up.......cutting into the Anna Maria Horner fabrics using the Serendipity pattern by Jennifer, from That girl....That quilt.  Hattie is getting impatient!!

Give-Away for #50!!

I just passed 50! Did you notice? Probably not....but I did!  Not 50 years, silly (that happened a while back....that's all I'm saying). I meant 50 blog posts....and in my book, that's a reason to celebrate!! So................I thought it might be time for another give-away. Here's what I got, that you might like..........

                                           Some Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt.


Here's how it will work:  There will be two prizes.  To enter, just be either a follower or a reader and leave a comment telling me so as well as your favorite summer treat.
The give-away will close at midnight on Saturday and I'll draw two names on Sunday.
The first name drawn will get 4 FAT QUARTERS OF HOPE VALLEY.

The second name drawn will win a CHARM PACK OF ALL THE HOPE VALLEY FABRICS.

I've had a lot of fun with this blog since I began in March.  Several of you have become great invisible friends.  I'm looking forward to getting to know more of my quilting buds! Thanks for taking the time to stop by, Oh, and my favorite summer treat.......Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream with fresh raspberries on top! Mmmmmm.... What's yours?
