Now that's a great idea! I know that an antique doll will show any eye chips or flakes in a picture, even when you don't see it otherwise. I never thought of using pictures for quilts, but definitely will from now on... Thanks!

Very pretty, I would use some of the blue for the binding or if you don't have enough then I would use a color out of it. Just my opinion. You did a great job. Seems when I start making mistakes it is time to stop but, I just keep plugging along.

I'm glad I could help! I swear by it, too. Changed a lot of quilt lay outs by taking a pic first!

Love it! I think I would use a solid blue for the binding if you can't find the other yardage.

I was thinking of solid blue, also, for the binding. Or something in a dark blue that you may have.

"Mama said there'd be days like this..."

You are not alone.

It seems to me that I rip out so many seams that when I'm done I've made one quilt twice.
