Best Friends cont.

I have finished the second stitched hexie for my
Best Friends Forever BOM 
by Rosalie Quinlan


I LOVE how they are looking up on my design wall.


but I need some of my pins back so time to hand stitch some together.


I also love that this is "quilt as you go".

I am breaking away from the "layout guide" provided in Installment 1 as I like the idea of there being a full hexie on the border of my quilt.  (If I was to follow the guide the two hexies on the far left would not be there).  The original quilt has not been released yet as Rosalie is still working on it. Who knows she might have it on display here in Bendigo at the weekend (Craft Alive). I am looking forward to seeing the original.

Here are my first two surrounded with some "Scrumptious" hexies.


Time to start working on the next one.

Have a great day, hugs Sharon

    This is beautiful and I agree that the layout should be changed. I would prefer mine more balanced too.

    I also agree with you that it will be nicer to keep the stitcheries away from the edges. You are zooming along!
