Not a real good picture of the top but tulips two is done. It measures 65x74.5. I like it but the tulips are a bit squatty for me. I used the technique I wrote about earlier, using Bonnie's boxy star pattern. The tulips come out at 6.5 inches. I think if I did it again I would figure out how to elongate the tulips a bit. I can't say I a really happy with the border either but I just wanted it done so done it is.
I woke this morning with a very sore neck. I must have slept wrong last night. I have not had a very easy time turning my head all day. I hope it is better tomorrow.
Today is hubby's birthday. I took him to lunch a Thai BBQ. It was good. We went shopping for bedding flowers after lunch. To hot to plant today, our temp was 95. I hope to get them planted tomorrow, early before the heat begins.
Well off to shower before my detective program. Enjoy your week-end, what's left of it. Dot

I like it! Don't be so harsh on yourself!!! Hope that neck improves - I hate having a sore neck it's awful :-(
Oooh! I hope your neck gets better soon.
I like your tulips, they are just fine how they are. I know sometimes we are our own worst critics and thats when it's nice to have the rest of blogland looking in.
Love the quilt!
Looks like it would be fun to make and quilt.

I think it's very pretty and I love the border. I especially like the different shades of background fabric you used.
Love the quilt ..... so nice and bright and cheery!
Really great -- and I agree with Holly that the background really adds to it!
