    Ok, so i laid out my blocks today, this is not all of them, just what would fit on my bed. There will be 8 blocks by 8 when done, with a border around the edge. Soooooo, lol, anyways, i lay out my blocks, and i stand back and look, and it was like omg, its just tons of roses! Everywhere! lol It just looked like one big mass of confusion, so that is layout #1, i asked hubby and daughter, and they're like, yup, kinda ugly! LOL! Sooooo, i tried layout #2, they said looks bit better, but hubby didnt like it. Said i needed more floral in there! So!!! Then came layout #3!!!!! And uhm, he says he likes that one, geez! LOL Anyways, i guess it's gonna be #3

    Well the photos didnt load in the right order, but they are labelled which ones they are :)

    This is the queensize raffle quilt i am trying to make

    It's meant to be a larger version of this, an hd wallhanging that is going to be a gift for the hd clinic, but somehow, the queensize quilt doesnt look nearly as nice as the wallhanging, at least i dont think, but hey, wont know til it's finished :)

    Like them all ~ # 3 has more color because of the center. Very pretty Barb. Your wall hanging turned out great also.
