Just finished reading the last few days of everyone's ideas and seeing lots of gorgeous fabrics! I have the first 2 done, except putting the four outside triangles on my second one. I think I am going to use some light batiks on those sections. Not all the same batik, but similar colored. I love the blocks so far! And thanks for the tips offered. I don't think I'd want to teach PPing to newbies because I have learned mostly on my own and don't know all the nifty "helps"! But, I do enjoy the way patterns are so intricate and precise--wow. I have picked up a few more small pieces to add to the collection of colors I chose. It's too much fun not too!!
This is one of the most busy seasons of the year for me with garden harvest and orchard picking and canning. I enjoy it all, but will be glad when it it finished, too.
Have a great day, everyone, and happy quilting!
