I just uploaded my avatar. I call it Paisley Paradise, but the pattern is 'For the Love of Licorice' by Linda Hohag, from American Patchwork & Quilting February 2004 edition.

It uses the 'Drunkard's Path' block. It is not pieced it is machine appliqued. :) I didn't cut the extra corner off of my square blocks because I liked the way the paisley pattern showed through the white on white. I used liquid starch to applique the pieces and it was so fun! I also used some fusible web just to try it.

I am really stuck as to hw to finish it. I think i am going to take the green off and get more blue paisley and make a scallopped edge. (I think I like curves...) I am going to use my embroidery machine to embroider the edges with flowers one day, but as for quilting the whole thing, I don't know yet...
