I was sick pretty much all of January and spent most of the entire month begrudgingly confined to bed. In the middle of the night, fueled by a large dose of NyQuil, I had what can only be described as a vision in which I designed and created a quilt for our dining room table. My NyQuil brain remembered a fabric background that my conscious brain had long forgotten I had squirreled away, it designed the overall layout of pink hexagons against a green field, and it designed all of the golden quilting. When I returned to the world of the living in early February, I set to work making the quilt exactly as I dreamt it.
Here's the fabric I completely forgot that I owned.
It took me about half an hour to find it packed away amongst my bag-making supplies.
Next I quilted this N + E decorative motif on the background fabric.
It's actually a little hard to read in this picture. This is what it looked like in reverse.
Next, I set to work making approximately one gagillion fussy cut hexagons.
Then I began attaching them to the background in the arrangement given to me in my cough syrup hallucination.
Here's an in-progress shot or two of quilting the hexagons.
And here's the finished quilt!
My first quilt of 2018 and it came to me in a dream! *makes ghost noises while backing slowly away*
