    Nice quilt. I like the way your quilt looks. I am a bit unsure about using linen but I like your use of that material.

    There is an on line store - fabric.store.com - I think, that has great pricing, and at 57" wide, seemed like a interesting fabric to add texture. I've got lots of small pieces in many colors to use for piecing, and when I see something I like on their Saturday sale (35% off) I grab about 5 yards of it. I am especially in love with their natural colors, both in linen, and the cotton linen blend. Linen is supposed to last forever (check out those mummies) so figured it would hold up in a quilt.

    Very very pretty - and so cleverly done. I always love seeing a quilt when i get that "how did she DO that???" reaction. This is another one that will go into my scrappy idea book.....and i'll have to take a look at the linen next time i'm at the fabric store.
