I wobble so my pictures don't turn out well. Once it is finished a picture is taken at the quilt club and I copy it and post it here.

I am using an english paper piecing method and loving it. But it does stop me from doing all the flowers first.

I am using the richest colors I can find. Colors that are saturated. Some metallics, some tropical. I have found that it only takes me about an evening to do one flower or half of the pathway around a flower. My hexies are 1 1/4" across larger than the older ones. So for a 48 x 48 lap quilt I'm expecting to do about 36 flowers. its 432 hexies I believe. That is doing a single round of petals and a single hexie pathway.

Are you going to do the hand applique or embroidered border around yours? I've been looking at them they are beautiful.
