I feel better today...I got a second corner block done, and started on the heart block.

Peg, I am having a battle with myself over that inner small border. To me it looks out of scale. This is your BOM, and your design, so I am asking your permission to change that border around the center block. You can just tell me NO if you want, and I won't mind. I'll make it as you designed it. But if you don't mind, I would like to try something else. Just let me know. Like I said, your design....and I completely respect that!!

I have a habit of making a pattern into what I want it to be. Anyway, hope I'm not offending!!

Go for it! No permission needed. this is for fun and if you want to change anything it's fine with me.

I appreciate your consideration of my design, but it is your quilt and I want you to love it and be happy.

Have fun and post a pic when you've made your new border.

Hi everyone,

I'm back and ready to go.

First off, thank you all for your kind words and prayers. I am at peace, did everything we could to help him for the past 4 years. He lived 2-1/2 years longer than the drs predicted.

Last of company left this am, kind of have my home back in order, tomorrow I hit the studio running! I am so far behind with my swaps, this BOM, and a quilt I am making for my niece's wedding. Have to get my butt in gear quickly.

Everyone's block are so beautiful, I'm so happy for all of you.

Do you have EQ? if you want some ideas, let me know what you are thinking and I can send you some blocks.

Yes, I do have EQ6. I just haven't had time to sit down and mess with it for this. Maybe this weekend I'll get some time. I have projects backed up, both to be quilted and to be pieced. Never enough time in the day!! LOL

I love this, I used some of my tye-dyed fabric (that I dyed) and got the middle done, and the hearts, and am working on the four corners. I will post pictures soon, but supper time now.
