As predicted last week I managed to finish adding the fourth row of burgundy flowers to each side of the Batik Flower Garden Quilt. So it was back to the mattress Store for a good look at how the top is fitting the mattress.
I managed to baste 144 burgundy hexagons which is enough to put together 24 burgundy flowers for the bottom edge of the quilt.
By this time next week I hope to have a decision about which end will be facing up. I also plan to have all 24 burgundy flowers completed.

Looking great! And I really do love seeing the progress as it relates to an actual bed! That must be so rewarding for you, too!

I do like laying out the work on a mattress when it gets this large. When I went back to the store this time I dealt with a different salesperson than I had the time before. He was just as nice as the other one had been. He asked me all kinds of questions about the processes involved in making a quilt. I left him my card. They have a woman who works there who quilts, so I left a card for her too. Maybe next time I will run into her.
