I am fairly new to this board and have learned so much from all of you. I have recommend this board to several friends of mine. Thank you all very much for your knowledge.

I would put sashing around 4 blocks that have been put together as you won't lose your blocks

I saw this fabric on eBay - Emerald City Fabric and Craft is the eBay store name. It is $10.48 per yard. I have purchased fabric from them before and so far have been reliable. It is so beautiful, I may have to buy some to try myself, but I am so not in your league of quilting. Your quilt is really beautiful.

I am no good at this but I sure understand your feeling of being kinda stuck on a project. I don't follow patterns too well so I spend a lot of time looking at a design wall and coming up with ideas. Good Luck! Let us see what you do with it.

That line also has a new panel, a tree of life which is just gorgeous. Happy Apple Quilts has it in their online store and their shop. Love the border around that beautiful horse Applique!!!!!
