I used the remaining two bird blocks in the bottom corners. When I have a block that I really like I either place it closer to the centre or at the top of the quilt because I find that these are the places where my eyes are naturally drawn.
These rows will be added to the centre panel. I just love all of these hexagon blocks and can't wait to get started on another quilt that is a variation on this hexagon quilt. It will allow me to use up the leftover solid green and green print.,
The quilt will have a border of the solid green fabric to frame the whole thing and to pull it all together. I had hoped to have the border on it by now but the sewing room is still partially packed up from the kitchen and bathroom renovations.
Until I post again, happy sewing!

Hi Karen. I'm glad to see you are back. I love your Empire Quilt. I was looking at your other finished quilts, and I'm amazed at the embroidered border on There's A Snail in my Garden. I love the leaves and want to given them a try. I enjoy coming over here to look at all of your hexagon projects.
