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

Wow! That's beautiful. My first thought....and, why is she asking for advice! Doesn't seem like you need it your work is so fantastic. Thanks for sharing this quilt.

I hope the fabric is still available! Do you think that would work? Thank you so much! Now I just have to figure how to put it in there.....

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!!!!!
