a finish

I have a finish....




The pattern was from this book and designer Kathy Brown
I have a couple of her books. THe directions were great and the pattern was easy. It was done very quickly and then it had to get into a long line of my own quilts waiting a turn on the longarm.
I moved this one up to be a birthday gift, next month. I am a little nervous to give it since I played around with the quilting - doodling swirls and a few feathers, and I am not so happy with the results. But her favorite color is blue and I think she will like the fabric.

My August swap hexies have arrived from the great state of Texas. I have asked in the swap to receive civil war reproduction fabrics. These are just perfect. Thank you Irene.
