I love your new Liberty quilt Helen, such pretty soft colours.
Just look at those beautiful little daisies, your favourite. :)
Such a lovely place for a walk and such a lovely sky too.
Happy weekend lovely,

Your hexagon flower quilt is beautiful with those Liberty fabrics. Your weather is so lovely - we still have lots of snow. Love your stack of doll quilts - very sweet!
Your hexagon quilt with Liberty fabrics is such a pretty one. I'm glad you have good weather now, after the recent storms. Have a good weekend.
This is so pretty. I made a Liberty hexagon quilt a few years ago but I like the way the background here is white so the flowers really pop. They really are a labour of love.
Lovely quilt and very pretty fabrics,
I want to do so much after visiting your blog .
Have a happy weekend .
I can but echo what others have commented here! What a fabulous hexagon quilt. The pale background is ideal as it makes the varied coloured flowers stand out and the backing is so pretty. Beautiful pots of daisies galore. I am pretty sure a pot would be coming home with me if I were visiting that garden centre :-). Keep well. Amanda x
Beautiful fabrics. The hexagon is lovely.
I have my eye on your star quilt you posted about last fall. I found the pattern in your Etsy shop. :)
Your hexagon flowers quilt is so pretty Helen. I love it! Hope your weekend is a happy one. Hugs Christine xx
And to all of you as well, Dear Helen, much happiness, lightheartedness and contentment!
I love this adorable quilt. Liberty has some of the very sweetest fabrics and this hexie quilt is a gem.
I am ready for spring flowers.
The hexi quilt is just beautiful! What ALOT of work you have put into this one... I'm just amazed that you do hand quilting on all of your quilts! They are labors of love...... the little daisies are so pretty.. and your walk down the hill would be a great place to be right now... our snow is gone and it's warm for a few days, then back to the cold! Your posts always brighten my day! Marilyn
