String X with yellow and red

I finished the String X quilt top with a lot of red and then yellow triangles. I have four borders: 1.5 inch red, 1.5 inch scrappy strips, 1.5 inch red again, and then 6 inch yellow. The yellow is all solid dark yellow. My husband says it makes him think of an old-fashioned yellow. The red and yellow just make the quilt top sing! So bright but yet not loud. It will probably go off to the machine quilter in about a month. I really need to get the Burgoyne Surrounded quilt top made for my son. He wants it in brown. So, I'll make it with scrappy browns and then use unbleached muslin for the background. I think I'll like it since I have made a quilt for my oldest son that is done with scrappy browns and unblecahed muslin in the pattern of Snail's Trail. My other son is getting a pinwheel set on point; it is done in all plaids, checks, and stripes. I love all of them; they are so different. Isn't that like it is with our children? We love them all the same but they are all different. Next week will be the week for cutting and sewing on the brown Burgoyne Surrounded. Until then, I'll just keep working on my Grandmother's Flower Garden. It is so lonely there in my chair in the living room. Everytime I see it, I feel like I should be working on it. Progress is slow, but I can really see that the little time I have spent each evening on it has really paid off. Just a few more flowers!
