Wow, that is so pretty. I think a hex border would be neat. I just love the blue buttons. The colors are so happy and cheerful.

Good luck. It looks like a lot of work, (but worth it). Will look forward to seeing the finished quilt. BrendaK

Very pretty. Love to see the finished quilt. Hopefully the pieces that you have already cut can be used too? Best wishes.

Since they're almost Tumbler-shaped maybe she could use them for something like that?

Rosy they are just beautiful! I'd not be wanting to cut them when its time to do the edges....just leave the hex ....This is going to be one stunning quilt.

Great quilt............ Don't you know there are no mistakes........ just new patterns........ lol

It'll look fantastic when done! Those Aunt Gracie fabs are just perfect for that pattern. I really love the far left one where the pink wedge meets the dark yellow wedge! Magic happens when the right colors go beside each other! I think this is also a 30's pattern. Great job and gotta love those BIG blocks to finish faster! :thumbup:

You're right, it's a 30ties pattern and made with smaller blocks it has a whole different look. I am just putting them on the board for now but I know I will have to put them on the king bed to arrange them and I will be very mindful of color placement. I can't wait. I keep getting interupted lol. Today I was helping hubby clean but am ready to go do blocks now.

I can't believe I started this quilt in March and here it is July already. I never take this long to finish a quilt but things got in the way.

I kept working on those blocks every chance I got. I made another mistake putting the blocks together and had to rip but never mind I got it right finally lol

Here are some pics of the finished King Size Wagon Wheel. I left the hex edges instead of cutting the blocks in half and squaring the quilt. I love the look.

I quilted it on the LongArm Monday. I just did swirly loops around the spokes and I like how it came out. I got up at 5 am this morning to bind it. What a job.

Here it is on my bed, it looks so summer and so cool. I used lots of left over piesce to do the backing and it is really patchwork lol....

The rest of the scraps that are left will make tiny quilts for my new puppies, Milly and Emily, they are in another post or check my blog.
