Modern Grandmother's Flower Garden

I bought myself the book 

hexa yo-yo by Tacha Bruecher 

lastyear and fell in love with 

this modern hexagon quilt.

I got started right away with the hexagons, 

in bright colors. 

As background I used grandmother's linens

that some good friends shared with me. 

I went crazy with the border and , adding pieces of 

different fabrics to get the size I wanted, and than I cut

two sides of the borders wavy. 

This is my back, pieced and with a soft raspberry flannel and the brown

polka dot fabric I used as border. 

You can see some of the machine quilting that my friend Jeri from Soundview

Long Arm Quilting did. Wonderful job. 

Now I am trying to decide if I need to do any stitching or buttons in the yellow centers. 

What do you think?

Jelly Roll Quilt Challenge Completed

The original pattern had the quilt 

quilted vertically with a beige thread. 

I tried that for about 8 rows, and realized that I did

not like that at all. It took away from the pattern. So I ripped it all out. 

 I quilted the quilt horizontally 

with a blue thread in the solid color bricks, 

and with a beige thread in the light section. 

I bound the quilt with a gold solid color fabric. 

I am happy with it, and hope my brother will be also.
