I was sitting twiddling my thumbs all day and could have at least written a few things back on my phone. Will prob blog about it tonight.<br /><br />And LOL at hadley. I love her bold honesty and am inclined to agree. The yellow star is a great idea but in this particular design and fabric combo it really draws the eye away from the hexie goodness.<br />Your partner is going to be wowed though because this is SO great. Feeling a little intimidated now!

Anyway, I'm glad the package cheered you up and I love those leaf prints too. I would definitely go for the second hex design but that's because I'm a sucker for matchy and symetrical - it makes me feel safe!Lynne (Lily's Quilts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12706577666898878440noreply@blogger.com
