JeanieG, that is just gorgeous! It is a perfect July 4 festivities quilt -- it reminds me of fireworks.

JeanieG: Congratulations on your wonderful finish!
joe’smom: Now she probably understands why I didn’t need to buy anything for her daughter’s wedding garter and why I had what was needed to move a hook and eye on her wedding dress!

Beautiful, JeanieG!! And a nice day to hang it outside!
My DH really wanted a wall hanging for our dining room (he's a watercolor painter in his spare time). So, after much consideration, I put most of the round 4 parts away and constructed 2 small borders. It finished at 50.5" square. I'll send a pic when I can get the upload to work.

Beautiful, kmjohnson! That border fabric is perfect!
I lost a couple of sewing days this week due to appointments and back trouble. I've now finished my round 5 geese and am finishing up my round 3 stars, pressing my teeny weeny round 4 HSTs and sewing my round 7 HSTs.

Great finish Katie! What a different approach having a finished product right away when you finish another row! I have never done this type of quilt before, it went together beautifully. I love the colors you used!

Still plugging away here. I'm pressing the round 3 stars, pinning the round 4 units, the round 5 geese are done, the round 6 HSTs are done, and I'm working on the reverse geese that I envision as part of my finish. Once I've finished pressing the stars, I think I will have to get row two and three sewn onto the center so as to condense it on the wall. Enjoying seeing all the impressive finishes on Quiltville.
