Glad to hear you are feeling better, I have plenty of other things to work on once I get my machine set up again. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't lost in the mail.

Barb have you received my package??

barbsbus

Yes I did. I am so spacie I thought I had posted. I have it hung on the wall in my sewing room as we speak. I think it is telling me a round of green. I found a piece in my stash that I think will work but going to let it decide. I am trying to get caught up on all the other swaps. Sorry I didn't tell you when it came on Monday. It is so much fun watching all these quilt tops grow on the interet.

Barbsbus I received the center and the boobarang they are both wonderful......now i have to figure out what to do.

norbana your center is still on my wall and it just does not want to talk to me HELP guys i need ideas

sandpat

Chew, I'm assuming that it still looks the same as it did on page 19 of this thread.

A couple of ideas come to mind. If you are comfortable with applique..you could do a round with the flowers and hearts from the center or you could just balance a few motifs on opposite corners...

Or, you could repeat the "steps" on a previous round but bring out the darker green and blue and yellow. You would need to keep in mind that it shouldn't be so strong that the last round couldn't be added easily though..so maybe not overwhelming on the darker colors...

Or...you could bring some longer lines to it and do some stripes with maybe an appliqued heart or flower blocks along to break it up a little...

I'll keep thinking. I know it will finally "talk" to you and probably ask you what took you so long to figure out what language it was speaking! :D:

sandpat

OH good, I can't wait to see what you and the "top" agreed on. I knew you would figure it out. You still have almost 2 weeks to mail, so you should be good. I bet Esqmommy will be ok either way. :D
