Flying HIGH!

How's this for a WONDERFUL friend....She see's a vintage quilt that she KNOWS that I would love...so she takes pictures of it...



Oh my...I LOVE THIS QUILT!!

...then she buys me the pattern, that was designed after this 1930's quilt...and

if that wasn't enough....she adds this lovely fabric and Roxanne's applique glue to make it!!  I love EVERYTHING...and it's not even my birthday!  Thank you WONDERFUL Friend!  You are the BEST!

This is such a HAPPY quilt...can't you see BIG stitch quilting on this one?  Oh man...I have the urge to cut into this fabric and get started on those balloons!  Plus...I have lots of wee scraps of 30's fabric to make the balloons!  (My motto is hoard save everything!!)  Patience...patience...I now KNOW what my next applique project is going to be!!  :o))  Get the Orange Peel quilt finished FIRST...then move onto 'Balloon Bouquet'!  (I am biting my fist....and grimacing! Patience isn't in my vocabulary...)  Friends really do put you to the test, don't they?!:o))

Have a wicked Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

    And the multi-colored strings are so cute too! Is the quilt a full size? How much fabric does each little balloon require? Go ahead.........start it!!

    Super cute. Looks like the original might have been a kit? Rather than nibbling at your fist, you should make a test block. That wouldn't interfere too much with the orange peel.

    Adorable! Are the balloons yo-yos? Or could they be? (upside down of course.
