What was your inspiration?

All the great batiks blocks I saw - couldn't stand it- had to do this course in batiks. The photos are a little greener than the actual fabrics - they range toward a blue-green

What are you most proud of?

Apr blocks - had too much fun with the hexies to remember that I don't like hand sewing

I love your disconnected hexie! I'm behind because I've had way to many trips and too much company (they stay in my "sewing" room) so I'm way behind. I still have my hexies to do. You've inspired me by making this simple line very interesting!

Thanks so much - I had fun with the hexies even though I didn't like the hand sewing - there were so many wonderful hexy block projects

Did you use fabric by the yard or the fat quarters? I am finally looking for fabrics for mine and your quilt is so inspiring!

Thanks! I bought a 12 fat quarter bundle of the Lagoon batiks from Hancock's of Padukah & then found a couple of other batiks to go with them at local quilt stores and found 2 others in my stash.

This is beautiful. I *love* your string hexie block with the "wait for me" hexie! I am now caught up and will be starting my April blocks. It's great to see what all you folks are doing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Alyx - that hexie could be an independent being or just late to the lineup.

How beautiful. Green is my very favorite color. I love your April blocks. I love taking this course and seeing all the great ideas people have. It helps me see outside of the box.

So beautiful and peaceful looking. Makes me feel like I'm in a lush green forest.

Thank you, Penny. I love anything in the green to blue range. That's why our Terrain line was such a departure for me.

How lovely. How tranquil. How peaceful. How comforting. Just beautiful. I don't think you need anything to make them pop. They're perfect as they are.

!Don't you just love green? If you bind in a dark jeweled, emerald, or forest green, Wow! the blocks will pop! Just a suggestion. Even a black border would bring them out. I made a green quilt in one of the other courses and the black border shows the blocks really well. Can't wait to see the finished product! Great job!

Thanks, pieceful1. I loved your Green Dreams quilt. I have no idea what I'm going to use for the sashing. I'm hoping to find a different batik for that. We'll see what I run across.
