Balloon String Quilt

This sounded like such a good idea when I decided to cut balloons into a string quilt. These 16 inches have given me nothing but grief, but I am almost there with only 8 half rows to finish and I will finish it. The ripper has been put to good use on this quiltie. I wanted it to look like balloons going over mountains, but it looks like a lake ended up in the middle, oh well.

Next the fun part will be embellishments. My second order of beads arrived yesterday so there are plenty of colors to pick from. YES, that is rays of SUNSHINE streaming across my keyboard....at last!

Oh, I like your balloon quilt. I think it's very pretty - and such a neat idea.
Sunshine? What's that? I haven't seen the sun (or felt it) for such a long time!
