    I like your colors & scrappy effect. You have put your scraps &/or reserves to good use. In most projects like these, the choice of colors are recomendations, not hard & fast rules. We are free to make decisions based on preference, need and available resources. That's What quilting is all about. Enjoy the process! You are very skilled and I promise the quilt police will never get your address from me.

    All of the blocks and completely flimsies are wonderful! I'm really on the fence as to how to finish mine. My blocks are 16" since I made 4-1/2" patches. I'm stopping at 9 blocks. I no longer care for the dark navy sashing I posted earlier and love Roma's yellow/ cheerful sashing. So I might do something a bit brighter. OR I might just not use sashing. These blocks are big and bold and the secondary pattern makes a statement. Decisions, decisions. Oh, yes I know one of the 4 patches is turned. It will stay that way as I've already taken part of that block apart to fix star point turned inward, which I think is why the four patch got turned. It will be my humility block along with all the lost points.

    Along with working on MT20, I'm also doing a medallion mystery quilt with the National Quilters Circle. I'm not happy with my colour choices but the focus fabric hasn't been used yet and hopefully will bring it all together. This is the center medallion which measures 30". I'm interested in where we go from here.

    Belfry, your flimsy looks great! Love it.
    But your attachment won't open and we'd love to see it. Please try a different way to post.

    I haven't seen any that I don't love! Took my machine in today so I will finish on my backup machine. Hope it doesn't goof up my seams.
    She told me that I need a new hook- $100.00 gulp!
    Nice work, everyone!!!

    Susie - I console myself at something like that, thinking, "well ... it could have been a lot worse!"
