Thanks and congratulations on being hooked! I just finished the center of a simple rail fence using 1" scraps that I'm making for a holiday gift exchange. Keep at it and look forward to seeing some more of your beauties.
Well, I kind of copped out a little on the quilting. I used invisible thread and went between the blocks, stitching in the ditch. They are only 2 1/2 inches apart. The pieces look so much like pleating that I didn't want to distract from the pleated look. I am now working on one that is 5 blocks per inch, it is going to be similar to this one. Since I paper piece, I am even considering not ripping out the paper on the next one, what did you do? I figure it will help stabilize it even more to leave it in. Afterall, there are "old" quilts with newspaper still in them. Just thinking about that as I sew.
