  6. How nice to have a runner with blocks from your friends. And what a visual surprise to see it as a wallhanging - perfect!

  7. Oh you did a beautiful job quilting this piece. But what caught my eye was the fussy cut petals of your flowers. Those little dogs, cats, clowns and the rest are darling. And look at you with a place to hang your finish. Great job.

  8. What a beautiful runner/wall hanging! I rather love the busy-ness of the background of your block. I love where it hangs, too, in your studio. The blocks are all so different, yet really work well together. Were you each given a color? Or just went with it? Oh, and that backing fabric is quite something, but perfect on this piece.

  11. Hello Nancy,
    Such a sweet collection of flowers! We have had plenty of spring flowers blooming already, and should have the first splash of red soon when the tulips open. I like your busy background - the blue reminds me of the forget-me-nots that we have growing by our path.
    Thank you for linking up with Free Motion Mavericks!
    Love, Muv
