Ta Moonglow.

The print in the posted image was borrowed from the internet, but the actual print is really very similar. I altered the colours in photoshop so they matched my fabric and the floral is almost identical.

You be the judge when you see my completed project.

Maybe a tad bit lighter but I like it as is too.

Thanks SuzyQ

Are you coming to sing in Newcastle in Novemeber? There was an ad on TV the other night advertising your upcoming tour - lol

I got this pale maroon (dark pink) solid, I just wish it was a tad lighter. Guess I'll see how I go.

I think it looks very good!! Can't wait to see the finished product!! I have not attempted triangles either. I would worry about the corners. Probably I just don't have a good picture in my head of how to do them. I have done half square triangles, but I don't like doing them....not with any of the three methods I used.

I think you are so wise to be starting with a wall hanging instead of something really huge. Everyone told me to do that, but I ignored them. Just quilting that sucker almost did me in.

I've only been quilting 2 years....still consider myself a beginner.

I would like to see it with lighter pink sashing but it's going to be lovely this way also.
