6 blocks are completely finished and 2 just need the stems and leaves sewn down. All the setting flower blocks are almost sewn together, the last 5 just need the white sewn down and their stems attached. Did I mention I found enough white to finish the last 5 small flowers! I was so happy to be so disorganised for once LOL.Kandy has been helping me work out the fabric requirements and potential layouts in EQ6 (see this post - it's very cool!)
I was so pleased of her help as I changed the block sizes suggested in Marti's pattern.(Because I have been sewing the blocks by hand I thought it would be more suitable to not make them as big as she suggests for the king size quilt and not as small as she suggests for the wallhanging...)
Here is one of the suggested layouts that I am pretty much going to go with...
I am scared and excited to tackle those vines, but first I have to sew all the blocks together (after I have finished them of course!)
On a commercial note ;-) I've made some more coin purses, but have not had a chance to photograph them properly so that I can list them in my Etsy shop...
Blue ones...
(Blue one on the bottom row in the middle is already sold)
(EDIT: Top left & Bottom right blue purses sold now too)
(EDIT: Top left & Bottom right blue purses sold now too)
And some in yellow and orange...
I hope to list them sometime this week...

I love the look of the Carolina Lily - it will be fantastic when it's all put together and the coin purses are so bright and cheerful.
You will be fine with the vines - you've managed all those stalks so you're almost an expert now! Do you still need reds and/or greens - the red and the green boxes are finally down from the loft and sitting on my bed (thanks Nige) your wish is my command!
I love the Look of the Carolina Lily. It will look stunning when it's finished. Can't wait to see the finished product.
After all the flower stems you won't have any trouble with the vines!
It's going to be a wonderful quilt!
And I love the coin purses.
You are doing a great job on those lily blocks! Bet it will be gorgeous in its final lay-out.
The lilies are amazing! You are doing some gorgeous work!
