Macybaby, that sounds like it is going to be really stunning. Your quilt top looks like all sorts of glittering jewels. It is gorgeous. I can't wait to see your finished top.
Teen, love the recent blocks your posted. D1 really caught my eye. Keep up the great work. Your almost there.
DonnaPea, love your pretty bridal bouquet. It almost looks 3D with the variation of color to the pink. Really stunning. Keep up the great work.
You all inspired me by this long term project. But, I knew that Sylvia and Farmer's Wife really weren't my type of quilt. But, I picked up the book for "Happy Flower Quilt Sampler" By, Atsuko Matsuyama. It's scrappy and colorful and I can see myself making it. (Lots of applique also. Which I really like.) It looks to be, 99 blocks @ 6.5" unfinished. I haven't read all the instructions yet. I also can't start it till I finish a couple that I'm working on right now. I'm not super impressed with the instructions. But, thank God for the Internet. Most of these really are just a take on traditional blocks. I just need to figure out the grid patterns as I go along. I guess I will truly be gaining experience and math skills as I go along.
