Thank you. :)
It may look like I have different size cornerstones because the quilt is hanging on a wall, un-sewn.
I do love the wall planner to plan the quilt. It is very nice to rearrange and not use the floor. :)

Add another darker border and a darker sashing and tada its not juvenile at all. I think its very pretty and must be a kid as at almost 50 I would like that on my bed :)

Yes, the print corner stones make all the difference. I would also like to see it with the original cornerstone color as the sashing and the print as cornerstones. IMO the very light sashing takes away from the blocks.

I like the contrast of the lighter set-ups!

I got it done a few weeks ago. I am sorry not to have posted it immediately. It ended up being (thanks to fabric on ebay) the way I wanted it to begin with.

It ended up being 68 x 53
and I ended up very happy with it. :)

Thanks everybody!
It's in the mail to my sister. I hope she will be surprised!

Warm Smile,
McDarla

It turned out beautiful! Trust your first instinct. Hope she likes it!(If she doesn't, I'm a purple fanatic.) :D
