Candace I missed your photographs of your shopping trip. I love the colour of the background fabric beautiful, not only that the black and whites are going to make a really different and beautiful look to your AOTH, really looking forward to your first block

Oh wow Candace, that is a truly yummy red! I really can't wait to see your first blocks!

Pro...its great that you are playing with us! Can't wait to see your beauty! I don't know if anyone else is doing blocks that size...its going to leave you some fabulous quilting opportunities!

Thanks so much for the link to Patti's trapunto. I just viewed it. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. It was really great. Thanks again.

Glad you like it TooMany...if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Have fun!

Candace, you're going to love working with those larger blocks. I did a couple 12" blocks of AOTH designs for a row robin I'm in and loved working with that size. How big a quilt are you going to make?

Wow, everyone has been posting such absolutely beautiful blocks. I look forward every day to seeing what new colour combinations have been posted.

I can't wait to finish up some stuff so I can get in on the fun.

I have finished enough blocks for the center of my quilt and hopefully can post a picture tomorrow. I am attaching a picture of what I am considering for the small borders of my quilt (which I think will be 2-1/4 in wide, but am not sure yet for sure). What do you guys think of this for small borders with my blue mirage?

Judy - I think that is a fabulous choice, the colors go very well together!!

I think they work beautifully together.

Good choice, its really hard to do this bit I know. You have made a great choice it goes so well with your background
