Thanks! though according to the other poster the other day it is "dull" as it looks like a sister fabric to the one she made.
I'm hoping to soon get back to it and finish it up. Just got a call that my OBW is finished at the LAQ and will pick it up today. It's not dull, but rather drab compared to all the vibrants. Someone else called it Shabby Chic ... here it is ....

I've seen some really cute 4 patch posey quilts and think I'd like to try that before I do an OBW.

One of the things I really like about the 4 patch posie over the other quilts of this type is, once you have the posie done it's just a square and you can set it several different ways.

I did a triple sashing with cornerstones on one. I would show you a picture but I can't find one.

It's a gorgeous quilt ... your choice of the green for borders/sashing is perfect. Just as though the Poseys are peeking out from the greenery in the gardens! :)
