As you probably already know and are bored to tears with, I have been focusing on my Twisted Hexies. Last week I finally laid out the large rosettes on my bed to get an idea of how many more I'll need to make.
If I want this much of a hangover on both sides I will need 10 more large rosettes plus smaller ones to square it up. It's a lot more than I expected. The fireman quilt that resides on my bed has a nice overhang when the bed is made but I do wish it was a bit bigger when I'm under the covers :) so I might as well do the long overhang on this one.
My original plan had been to use this gorgeous batik for borders but I think the quilt is just too busy. I'll probably use this batik on the back and finish the front with a simple black binding.
Sew...What have you been working on? Something old? Something new? I do hope you'll share. Just remember to link to the actual post and not you blog in general.

So ... how much longer? Another week or two?! Hahahaha!!!! I've added something new to something old. Does that count?! :)
Seeing good progress, and that batik is GORGEOUS!
Slow work, but that will do in the end. Look at mine, I managed to finish it. Hope that will inspire you.
Looks great Sarah........
I didn't know you had so much together........I've only seen it in bits........
Keep going it will look so good on your bed.
It won't be long now : ) Just a few more.....
Wonderful--that quilt is looking so nice! That is a beautiful batik--but I can see how it would compete with the rosettes. Good call to put it on the back. Then you can still enjoy it, but without the fighting. : )
this is looking wonderful, so colourful too
Oh WOW! I love that even more now that I see it on the bed. I didn't realize they were so big. That is going to be a fabulous quilt.
Oh...and I agree about using that batik for the back.
