    Nice work, Vicki. I like the shade of green you've used.

    JM: I like the way the square within a square looks. Somehow it lends itself to the airiness of the quilt.

    Vicki: Your quilt is so vibrant. Whenever I see that greyish green, I try to figure out why it does such a nice thing to the design. Never came to a conclusion, just know it does.

    Sunlitensmiles, love how yours finished. Just beautiful. We'll be in Palm Springs mid-February to visit one of our sons. Are you close to there? Know any great LQS in area?
    VickiM, yous is lovely too. Like that gray-green, seems to calm down the wattage.
    Joesmom- I like both ways. So I'm no help.

    I know that Palm Springs looks close to Burbank on a map but it is actually more that 100 miles. California is about a 6 hour drive coast to coast (east coast is the Colorado River) and more than a 14 hour drive from U.S. National border to the Oregon border, even on freeways! There were 2 LQS last time I was there but your best bet would be to check the Southern California Quilt Run web site because so many LQS have closed or moved. Some stores have limited store hours, so best to call or check their web sites. Hope this helps

    I LOVE this fabric! What a great find.

    Emma and mimiknoxtaylor, thanks for your feedback! After considering, I think the square in a square doesn't give the block enough of a focal point, so I will move on with the 4-patch (at least, that's how I'm feeling tonight, lol).
