JeanieG - as I said before I think your quilt is gorgeous and I've been looking at alot of them on the yahoo groups. I think one of the things that makes it stand out in your little red squares in the center of your string blocks. I know this would be a simple thing to create for an experienced quilter but since I'm not, I would love it if you would do a tutorial on this step. I'm a very visual person and I've been thinking about how to do it and I keep drawing blanks. Would you consider doing this?
PS: I'm not a fan of overall quilting either, just for the reasons you stated.
