Hex N More!
As usual here are some outtakes!
I loved this tree but the wind wasn't cooperating with us.
Then we headed to a local playground. Here I am getting ready to toss the quilt up on a tree.
Law working on adjusting the quilt.
A good shot, but not great. I didn't like how the quilt kept getting bunched in the center & you couldn't see the entire design.
Lets try another toss. (It didn't get much better.)
Tree branch #3
More quilt tossing... I think it should be an Olympic sport.
...and more tossing.
Then we tried the grass. The lighting was weird & I wasn't feeling it.
After we tried all the trees we found this bench. The quilt was the exact width of the bench!
It started slipping...
...and the wind started blowing.
Eventually we adjusted the quilt and got the perfect shot!!
Close up shots of Angela's AMAZING work.
More about the other new quilts & projects soon!

I love this quilt! I cannot wait to get the pattern and the ruler!
This is just the coolest pattern. I'm definitely making it! Can't wait to start it. You have some awesome pattern writing skills too. Your patterns are very easy to understand. Thanks!
I admit that I am totally head over heels for this one!
This might be my favorite quilt from you ever! :)
Gorgeous quilt! Oh, the creative possibilities your new ruler provides. Very exciting!
Fabulous!
I love it!!
Re quilt tossing - I'm in the UK and the Olympics start tonight so perhaps a word in Lord Coe's ear?????
How beautiful! The quilting is amazing!
I really think this is my favorite of all your quilts! The colors are spectacular! Just curious - have you tried it in prints? (not that I don't love the solids, just that I have way too much fabric!)
Love it!

I love this pattern.
Your design and Angela's quilting are amazing, as usual. I love seeing your struggle to find the perfect photo, simply because I always have trouble and it's nice to know that I'm not the only one!
Another amazing job!!! Can't wait to see it
What a great quilt Julie, LOVE the colors too!
I love the curvey quilt design on the zig-zag shapes. I really like this quilt, and the Won-Ton! Great Stuff!
Very pretty quilt, I love the zig-zag design!
Northern Lights has now taken 1st place for me. Especially after spending the last 5 days so close to her. I have quite an attachment to the beauty of that mastrpiece! Love all you ahve created for the world to share!
This is a beautiful quilt! Love the colors and quilting in it.
I made this quilt for my nieces highschool graduation because she loves bright colors.
I am ready to sew my rows together. Is there a trick to this part? I have no idea why I'm nervous because the rest of it went together swimmingly! Thanks
