Quilt tops and backings

I love the fabric that I found for the back of this quillt top.

I had another quilt top in mind to use this backing with , but I
thought that this went together amazingly well. Will choose something else for the backing for the other quilt top.

I really like this fabric , but I am not sure what quilt top I will
use it with yet.

Finally in the Frame

Yes, I can hardly believe it myself. This quilt is finally in the frame . Well it is over a year later than I had planned !But as they say better late than never and I hope to have it all quilted early in 2009.

I am so happy and here is the reason why. I now have all the flowers completed and sewed in rows for my quilt. I have 4 seams to sew and I will have all 9 rows of my quilt joined together .

I spent a fair amount of time each on my blocks in the past few days . .After I replace a flower in row 4 -10 , I just have to sew the units together . Then after that there will be a few hexagons to place in various spots along the left and right borders. It feels to good to be this far along .

Post 20 - October 4

I haven't posted in a while but have still been working on my quilt. I am working on Row 9 .I had forgotten how much time it takes to add the paper and baste each individual hexagon before I can assemble them into rows. Each flower is made up of 7 hexagons , and I had to make 12 new ones plus some partial ones. Then of course are all the off white hexagons , over a 100 of those I think. Anyhow I may be a while, but I am working a bit most everyday on it .
