Great info. As far as the layout, I change it up everytime a finish another block, so, no this is not the final layout. By the way, I have changed it four times today. I don't think I want sashing on this one. I want the curvers to stand. I think I will be putting it on point, I like the looks of it better. So, if I put it on point, there well be solid blocks around the edges. At least this is what I am think so far, but, that could change tomorrow. Any ideas.
I got the blocks on the web, they are called New York Beauty, but, I am calling mine: spiked with color.
Keep sending ideas, I am loving all the information.
p.s. You might be right about hand quilting it and not taking my chances with the frame.
