thanks Amma
I have almost 100 little triangles laying around now because I couldnt decide how to do it or the color wasnt right. I think I need to make a little doll blanket out of them.

I don't need it be much larger than it is now, but am perfectly willing to play if I love an idea that requires wide border(s). I have no specific plans for this quilt, it might go on my sofa, bed, or just be following me around the house... :roll: :lol: :D
salmonsweet, my fabric is similar to yours, except that it includes leopards, tigers, and giraffes...but the same color scheme. i've completed sewing my half-hexagons (okay, I'm way behind most of the folks on this thread) and am in the auditioning the layout stage. i made 72 blocks and plan to do some cubes...

fireworkslover, could you direct me to the posting with the picture of the original fabric you used for your avatar OBW? It's beautiful!
