Well now gcathie, you sure are asking the wrong one. I have giant size "L" plates up on that so no use asking me. There are a lot of books out there and when I get to the stage it will read up on different designs. So far all I have attempted were free motion leaves, (they did look quite good :wink: ) however I had to make a drawing with chalk first to give me a clue as to where to go. Good luck. Elle

Thanks anyway...I'm sure well come up with something.... :D

I love the double sashing. I am not sure if that is what it is called, but it is gorgeous!! Wonderful job.

Anne

Butterflyspain....ahh thank you...I am finally done with the paper holes that I've had forever and am now using the little white rectangles...like them better more room to write on....this works good for me and a lot less ripping the seams out....yaaaa hooo...

gcathie..I just cut out another quilt like this the other night.. This time I cut out 30 block sets where each of the four squares is 3 1/2" I plan to put a nice cream tone on tone next to each block and do some nice hand quilting on them.
