Terri it is beautiful I love fall leaves your sashing is perfect for them.
It was Traveling Grandma that did the neutral quilt. I remember because it was one I had a very difficult time staying with her request. I kept trying to put more color in it. You're right it really did come out beautiful.

Well I did it, finally put together a top made from my millions of swaps. This was a fall leaf swap

(Jaba, I think you might have a block made with this.) I loved it then but I didn't have much. Lo and behold, tucked in a corner, there it was. So I think I'll sash it in greens or possibly greens and the background cream to tone it down a bit. Don't know yet. But, decision finally made on the main fabric. Woo hoo! Time to prep it.

ok I got a question. Is there a trick I don't know about or forgot that takes you back to where you left off after posting a reply? It seems every time I reply to a post, I'm left on the reply page and have to click on the thread link at the top to get back to the messages so then I have to start all over and hopefully remember where I left off. So sometimes I miss stuff.

Great reply Ibex.
Thanks everyone, sure was fun to put together something rather then just make blocks
i love the sashing fabric also. I'm really trying not to buy more fabric but if I could find the deep purple that is in the sashing then I would add a border
