Hey Eilzabrat, I started cutting your quilt out yesterday and hopefully won't screw up anything. I decided to make a center set of alternating blocks, which will end up about 36" by 36", then play with fancy multiple border designs around that. There are a lot of gold metallic threads in these fabrics, and it is a very rich color combo. If you want to drool (or stop me in horror), it is the "passage To India" collection by R. Kaufman. I can admit to being guilty in the past for not wanting to cut into some of my more "special" stash, and just petting it. But having taken the plunge, it does feel nice to handle in action. And ONLY a quilter should get a quilt made out of this! Hee hee.
Welcome home Melinda! Take it easy and slow for a bit, ok? If your fabric bill is more than the hospital bill, we will understand completely. Maybe it will be covered under "medical necessities".
