I just read a blog that had a bunch of pictures from the most recent quiltcon. It gives me a much better idea of what "modern" quilts are really like. Besides the nontraditional piecing, the quilting is very dense and lends a totally different look to the quilts. Thought the boomers discussing modern styles in the last couple of booms would get a kick out of it. https://www.leilagardunia.com/blog/m...-2023-quiltcon

No, instead let's have Cheese just put the extra in with her other block for you. Two blocks in one bag will keep our count at 19 so we don't go nuts.

She sent all 3!
SBG, my package should arrive today.

Hope all is well with you.

I love magnolias too. I'm asking for a cream solid or COC (cream-on-cream) background with matching golds and greens in TOTs (tone-on-tone). I think there's enough variation in the gold and green so it should be doable for everybody. I am asking that no other large prints be used. I want these magnolias to shine!
