Deep Blue Sea

My quilt top is complete.
All I needed to do was to sit down and DO IT!  The thought of appliquéing the edges of all the hexagons onto the white border was bigger in my HEAd than the reality!
I was able to appliqué all around this afternoon !  

Does anyone else like to appliqué on a table? 
After sewing a basting stitch through the middle of the outside hexagons...attaching it to the border.....I needle turned the edges under.

Now I need to get some motivation from somewhere......and quilt this thing. It's HUGE!


Ooooh! I love all that color!
Hoping to quilt some hexagons in the white border.  Wish me luck! 
Anyone have some extra motivation laying around they're not using?
I'm running short.
;)

    I just finished a hexie not too long ago, so here's some motivation: it will be absolutely beautiful when it is finished!

    Yes! I also like to spread my applique out on a table to work. I've been doing it that way for so long that I'm afraid I couldn't just hold it in my lap and work. I have to feel the needle on the top of the table so I usually sit at my old formica dinette.

    I love all those blues you have used. It really looks calming. I prefer to do applique at a table too. It helps me to keep the underlying layer flat.
