    I have to say I love how your alternate layout pops a completely different secondary pattern. Both are great, but number 2 has me going WOW, I want to do this one!

    I finally finished the blocks for "The Quilt that Never Ends"!! Woo hoo.

    I selected my backing fabric too: Caterwauling Tales...pretty descriptive of what I was doing while piecing this thing.

    Crazy? Yes, you got it! Sigh...

    I have a love, hate thing going with "The Quilt that Never Ends". I love the pattern, can tolerate the colors, but can't see the grey!!! I just can't see it...in this awesome pattern.

    So, sigh...off I go on the insane path to replace the grey. I started this post acknowledging that I am crazy after all.

    I laid a few black squares on top of the grey to compare and I like it so very much more. Sigh...

    Farew, OMG! I can't believe you are going to replace all of these squares! I personally love your original grey but I understand that we must like what we were working on to work on it lol.

    And I am soo happy to report that after much thinking, drawing and changing my mind I came up with a border design that I am satisfied with and just finished attaching it to the quilt..so it is hot off the sewing machine lol. This is so far one of my favorite quilts I made, the colors are soo me! Thanks to Bonnie for offering this great mystery and thanks to you all for encouraging Hopefully I can find the time to start quilting it soon. It finished at about 68x80, so sorry for the odd angel in the picture
