I didn't get too many blocks done last night Kathy. I have some Christmasy stuff to do and it is tying up my time! I try to at least do a couple per day to keep me on track and to make progress though.

Kathy, I have that book! Yippee - I have been looking for a design that I could draw out on a wholecloth that I could machine quilt on. I think this might be the one.
I think yours looks so good because of the fabric colour choices you made (apart, that is, from your skill at putting it together). I would never be able to assemble that many colours, but threads woud be much more likely.

Lesley, putting the fabrics together was really easy. I look at the selvedge of the fabric and try to match the ink colors there. This was at a vendor's booth at out little local festival in 2007. This lady was from a town about 2 hours away. I had picked out most of the fabrics, but there were several gaps. Since she was going home that night to re-stock, she made notes about what I needed and matched up what she had to my needs. She is a lovely lady from the UK who was transplanted over here many years ago, but still has her beautiful accent! If I remember correctly, she was from Wales. The Asian fabric is Michael Miller and the Fairy Frosts are his, too, so they would match quite nicely. I don't usually stick with only 1 manufacturer for an entire quilt, but this one just had to be that way. The black is Kona cotton - the bestest black there is!!! We have a chain of stores called Hobby Lobby. They have the Kona and I will take a 40% off coupon and buy an entire bolt! (or whatever they have left on the bolt they have if it's not new) I used a King Tut varigated quilting thread in primary colors to quilt the curvy design between the spokes.
Isn't Judy's book the best? I have made just about every compass she has in there. My yellow avatar is the same one as is on the cover with my own design for the border.

Kathy, I like Kona black too - I just ordered 10 yards from Hancocks of Paducah - they are having a 20% off sale until the 12th if you are interested, so I got my 10 yards for about $36. It's what I will use for AOTH.
Do you wash that too? I didn't think it would run, but then I haven't put as much in a quilt as AOTH will need.

Lesley, I wash ALL fabric. I had a horrible experience with a designer fabric and ended up throwing away the whole 2 yards of it. Couldn't get it to stop running once I discovered it bled.
I sort of enjoy ironing the washed fabric - I go all zen as I iron, thinking about where it will be used. Also love touching it over & over.
