    hahaha QB id was actually my horses name. I'm already doing all the flowers for the wedding so it's going to be really busy day so I don't want to add more to that.

    Well, Duh! to me. This arrangement is the same as Wild's. You used prints for the squares that yield the rectangles and she used solids.

    Some days I don't perk on all cylinders.

I was looking online, really like the Delectable Inspirations from AllpeopleQuilt.com & an Irish chain but anything quick that you can think of would help me out! thanks!

    What a great way to make triangle squares. Just tried it and like it a lot better than using paper patterns. Thanks for the hint.

    I've got a Bento Box in the works. It goes together very quickly, if you can find the free pattern online. One of my online quilt groups has a free pattern in the files section. It's all done with 2-1/2" strips. Very easy.

    well I started something on Saturday evening after getting all the fabrics together and getting everything ready and then I went to sub cut the blocks last night and realized that I did all the blocks backwards so I have to pick it all apart! Oh well, I had a UFO in the closet that just needs a border and it was the right colours so I am going to finish that one and give that to the couple. I'll still do the other one and it'll be a christmas present for her someday maybe but I can't believe I did that!

    At least I caught it before I started cutting more. Thanks for the pattern ideas, I have a pattern similar to this one so that is what I had planned on using in all blues with the white, until last night. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-144615-1.htm

    Really like that version. Much more interesting & versatile than the original D9P.
    Thanks for sharing.

    That's lovely. I'm not a real big fan of D9P but that is the prettiest one I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

    Sounds great, how about a picture?

On another visit to the same shop the owner told me that she has sold over 30 pre-cut kits of this quilt and it gets more attention than any other one in the shop.
