Thanks for showing us how to do that - I love the quilt and had no idea how to get the navy 'framing'. You made it look easy to do, and I appreciate it! Very pretty quilt -- I want to make one, too, now!

I was having problems with the crosss seam allowance being bulky and leaveing print of the seam after pressing the block, so decided to cut out the section from the back where the seams crossed.
I don't know what these snippers are call but I used them for raggy quilts. They worked great, but have to be very carefull you don't cut the front side of you block.

Very pretty. I have to put that on my long list of want to makes. I hope I start getting younger or I will never be able to make everything on my list.

That is beautiful!!! Great idea to cut out the bulkiness. I have those same snips...not sure what they are called either.
