Sue, those are lovely! Thank you so much for sharing them with me. Is the second picture similar to 'orange peel'? I have done that once and it went really well for me. I have stitched in the ditch on SIX lap quilts, ugh. I don't know why I would like to avoid that, but I would!! =)
Your colors are lovely in your crazy 9. I wish mine were better. I picked FQs at the beach Walmart - no quilt store close by -- and my selection was limited. I was going for beach colors, surf and sand. Had no idea of a pattern, and didn't think to get more than one of each print, or even any 'almost' extras.
Unfortunately, I did the same thing a second time -- I have a bunch of FQs that are 'beach sunset': red, orange, yellow. NO idea how to put them together! Well, that's not true -- I have thought about using different sized strips to suggest a 'sun' . . but I think that is probably beyond my design capability
=)
I'll try to get a better picture of the orange one . .
thanks SO much!!
