some more hexagon-rosettes,looks like a bunch of 65 panncakes,but i need a few more.

nothing against something new

there is nothing to say against something new to sew,well, i think. and while i am quilting aunt claras quilt,wich will take a while...,i found this project,and i have quite a lot old swedish curtain fabrics that fit perfect for those hexagon rosettes,i need to sew 8 more of them,and then creme white hexies between all of them, so there is a lot to do ...

aunt claras border

i began on two sides with the border on aunt claras quilt, the original quilt has no border , and i am not quite sure if mine should have it,but i like this windham fabric so much, it reminds me so much of my so beloved greatgrandmother,she wore clothes of such fabric,what do you think?

row 8 is finished,but there is still a row 9 to sew.i made my templates for this quilt a bit smaller,because i wanted to use my 5" scraps for the diamonds,si if i want this quilt as big as the original i have to sew at least one more row,maybe two,have a nice sunday all you out there,susi
