Thanks Kitsie, it's the SAS. I'm going to make it is a present for my sister's birthday 4th April. I've purchased batiks to make it but want it to graduate in colour to get the movement in. It's probably my most ambitious quilt yet so I'm a little worried and may take you up on the offer to PM you. I don't think I've the patience to do the splendid. I'm making a sampler quilt with 24 blocks and it has taken me around 4 years, I'm doing it QAYG and am at the stage of sewing the blocks together so nearly done.
