Thank you for all the tips, Snooze2978! I'm not a real quick worker, but my work is the best I can do. My first quilt was a series of squares with a multi-colored small block strip over the top of each square. Each vertical row was off-set to the next row and I thought that was challenging. My second quilt was a series of large and small circles within squares, called "Dancing Rainbows" for my daughter and she loved it. I have almost exclusively worked in bright, bold batiks. They are so beautiful. I hope to learn and share on the quilter's board. Thanks for sharing with me, Kim
