    Wow! These are teriffic. I love your sence of color. The fabrics in the second quilt are sumptuous.
    Now, in the last quilt, the yellow block? Not sure there is enough yellow in the rest of the pattern to carry it off. I like it but needs to have either more yellow background or lose that block and add a narrow yellow border! Just take a second look at it. This is only an opinion and not meant to be a quilting police. Try rearranging the blocks as another idea.

    I do like this top alot.
    peace

    ube, those were just the blocks layed out, i didnt end up using that yellow one either, just an odd duck, did also rearrange and add a batik green border between and around. so yall werent able to see the flaws? id like to be able to sell these when their done, as the maker ofcourse i can find all the flaws and thats all i can look at. that blue one, the one that had an extra piece ot it on the bottom , lol, did sell it tacked, is there a trick to getting every block to line up perfectly? sheesh ive been makeing every block as perfect as possible, sew my 1/4in seam as clean and still i have to back up once i get the strips together and redo the blocks so they line up right as im putting the quilt together, never mind getting the points perfect on those claws. do quilts that yall make and sell have all that perfect or is it just not knoticable once its quilted? the small green one is a quilt as you go, i finished the blocks before putting them together, there is a small seam on the back and freehand quilted on my machine, this will eventually be a big quilt, love the freehand quilting but cant do a big quilt on my machine, looking for a quilting machine setup. any suggestions. thank yall for all the compliments

    Merciful? Heavens woman you are doing a great job! I like them all but I think my fave is the last one best, hard to choose. Keep up the good work, I wouldn't know that you were 'just learning'
