Yes only an image of the quilt I'm going to start tonight.

Inspired by Eleanor Burns, "Summer Porch" but with a personal spin.

I hope to do it justice. (not so sure of the colour accuracy of this image - it looked more vibrant on my computer screen?)

Any suggestions from experienced quilters is defiinately appreciated and requested.

I wonder if the sashing should be a tad lighter?

Thanks Murphy.

Is that a musical instrument you're sitting with in that lovely bushland setting? What a lovely place!

Your FIRST quilt? You are a braver quilter than I was when I started - I never touched triangles until I had made several simple square-based quilts. I love your design and can't wait to see the finished project!

Why thanks Paulswalia - I hope you are not right. But I'll post pics of the completed project.

Where do you think the pitfalls lie? I've got to cut 5 fussy cuts and make sure they remain in the correct order etc etc...

Anyway, I'll post if I get into trouble.

Thanks LAB55 - I certainly will. (don't think the sashing is too dark?)
