Bibliostone, that double ribbon around that solid middle is awesome. Here is my FINISHED quilt. So promptly quilted and returned and wonderful job she did.[ATTACH=CONFIG]488391[/ATTACH] Not sure there is much difference in these shots, but another one:

Our guild this year is doing the exact same thing so here is my new one in progress--very slow progress, I might add. I shamelessly pirated Carriem's center block as I thought that was awesome and wanted to do a variation of the compass. So I am back to auditioning and also working on a design that was supposed to be a no-brainer and it isn't. Have spent the last couple of days revisiting this entire thread and noting pages of things to try differently this time. So will see how it goes. Did finish one other top and have it slated to go to the quilter soon. [ATTACH=CONFIG]488396[/ATTACH]

Here are two of the about 15 combinations I have come up with. Any feedback? Oh, have decided not to set it on point as that messes up the whole idea of the compass. So back to working with snsns themes. Thank you for letting me join your group. Jaba and Elisabrat were patient and awesome leaders and I appreciate all the kindly offered suggestions to improve my quilt. I am really very proud of it and am amazed that it turned out so wonderfully without an overall plan to start with. I now find that most of my projects are proceeding this way. I try something and if I don't like it, I feel much freer to eliminate it and go on, even without the pattern's approval. What's this about a new project in January? Cool. Hope everyone is well.
