"Spike Your English" Block of the Month Quilt-Along
#971
If you have the book "Material Obsession 2 on pages 166-183 they show two busy quilts using Hexagons. I am considering using one of these as how I will put my 12 blocks together into a quilt top.
Here is one way they show...

What do you all think? Any other ideas?

Great ideas, nygal--thanks for posting those links. I like the first one with the plainer diamond setting because my blocks seem so busy. Lots to think about. I was planning on making all 12 blocks but only using 9 of them for a wall hanging (would fit the space above my fireplace). I'd use the remaining 3 for a runner. I also can't decide on the color for my diamonds. I laid them out on white like the background I've used in all my blocks and I like it because it looks like the stars are floating. But I also tried them on a deep, dark, swirly blue and it looks like sky. Hmm....so many decisions. Will watch for suggestions from others, too.

CindyA, with chicken pieces, a single bouillon chicken cube, sage, salt, pepper, celery flakes, water. Bake a potato, leftover carrots and peas for a soup. Experiment. If you like it creamy, add a can of mushroom soup, divided between two. Its still microwaved, uses only the bowl your soup is in...quick, easy and no mess. Enjoy, have fun!

has our little *group project* fallen through the cracks before we finished? I had to go back quite a few pages to find us- just printed off block 11- I love these blocks and hope we manage to finish it up together- I can not wait to see quilts start coming together- everyone has created such fabulous blocks! some of them are so 'take your breath away' beautiful- I just know the quilts are going to be wondrous!!!
