Before Christmas ,I seemed to be in a race to get every thing done before going back to work ... and the sewing suffered, SO... I have spent the last couple of days indulging myself xx
I was Queen Bee for my Stash Bee (see button at side ) in October. I asked for flower blocks from the other ladies. The reason for this was that, my poor old garden was a COMPLETE washout last summer x They did a wonderful job and I received 12 blocks.. With the one I made I had 13.. there should have been 14 ...but that is the life of swaps xx... SO I changed my origonal idea of how to put then together ... and came up with..
This layout incorporates the FRIENDSHIP star... which I thought was a fun way to go xx .... and allowed me to use the 13 blocks in a balanced way xx..
It is a good job I have BIG walls in my house ... because ..the top is 93 x 93 inches!!! As usual I got a bit carried away! Mind you I have used up some fabric from the ...overflowing .. stash x
Hope you all have a wonderful New Year
keep smiling
Diane xx

I love the colours, that will look spectacular!
Have a great New Year!
Great idea and it all came together very well. But now I'm guessing that you are going to use that excuse of using up some of your stash to be able to buy more fabric. LOL
