My Corona Flowers

 Finally, "My Corona Flowers" is done but Covid-19 is not done with us yet.



Quilt Details:

Normally, I don't count the number of pieces when doing EPP, but this time, I kept track.
Batting:  Hobbs 80/20 polyster/cotton
Machine quilted by:  Kathy at Kat's Quilts
E2E quilt design:  Joyful (with Pearls) by Christy Dillon from My Creative Stitches.  I would have this one again on another quilt. 

It was pure joy to work on this quilt during troubling times.  Now, if only I can get rid of those extra pounds that were put on during the same time ....

A lot of tiny scraps were used during the making of this quilt.  

My arms ached a number of nights working on basting those hexagons and sewing them all together.  Why?   Because I was so obsessed in getting this quilt done.  Worth it?  Oh yes.

Now that this quilt is done, I can focus on ufo's ..... again!  LOL

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

    Hi Rose Marie, I enjoyed reading your Cottage post and may I say I send the very best healing wishes to your sister.
    Meanwhile, you have another great finish here. Beautifully sewn and well worth the hand stitched efforts.

    Hi there. I'm a new reader and am in awe of that gorgeous quilt in the wildflowers in your header. I've been inspired to do a mini tumbler in 30's repros to reach a similar effect. Thanks for the inspiration.
