blowing in the wind

... just don't tell my neighbours I've used their clothesline to snatch some photos.
(it's just outside the building, not in anybody's yard, so I suppose I may be forgiven ;))


The quilting went slowly as I decided I wanted some patterns inside the hexagons, as well as stitch in the ditch (or, in my case, stitch-in-and-out-of-the-ditch)
Here's the back:
And I'm not sure if you can see it very well in the photos, but I like how the sligthly scrappy binding turned out.

I enjoyed working on it very much, so I'm adding it to:

  1. wow...do you know how impressed I am. Not only have I recently finished piecing this quilt, but this weekend I attempted to machine quilt. UGH! I can't do it. Your quilting is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'll be posting my Hexagon Park to Lily's page when I get it finished.
