My daughter has claimed this quilt. :wink: She said it's not one she'd put on a couch for everyone to use, and she still wants another ragged flannel, and she has enough quilts, but yes she likes it a lot. :lol: That's all I need to know. I'll keep it safe until she's ready for it.

So far... five more blocks to go. This is not the final lay-out--I need to turn and move some yet. I'm waiting to hear from my girl if she'd like the last five blocks to expand the green or continue with the blue. I thought that woods fabric made a neat border for at least two sides--for that's exactly what I see when kayaking on two of the lakes we frequent, but maybe a narrow green, then wider bluish border would be better. Again, Rachel can decide. (Just got an email from her--she wants the greens expanded and has no opinion/idea on the borders. She says it looks real! :D )

That is stunning, I love it!!
Love those colors

That's coming along lovely. I'd like to see the greens expanded even if she doesn't! :D

That is amazing looking! I love it and I love the fabrics and color placement!!!! You have done a beautiful job on this and the points look perfect.

I love how you "play" with color and it comes out gorgeous! I am not brave enough for that. Maybe my stash is not big enough! YEAH! That's the problem!

That is just gorgeous!!! :D

It is turning out beautifully!

It seems like the kind of quilt you would cuddle up with on a cold evening in a cabin by the water. It really does fit the name:)

Lynette

That is so beautiful!

That came out beautiful! The border fabric is perfect!

Karla this is looking beautiful. Can I put forward an idea - how about doing adjacent green borders and putting all the green that side, graduating diagonally into the blues with the opposite borders in blue? Just an idea - whatever you come up with will be stunning, as always! :D

That's looking mighty wonderful! Anxious to see the finished project. (aren't we always?)

That is incredible Karla! It will be a very beautiful quilt. I like the trees fabric. If I remember from you photo's that is how the banks of the lake look. I'd claim that quilt too, if I could! :) :)

Jim's Gem--that what I was thinking! Below is a photo taken while kayaking...
k3n--I love your idea. I sort of did that with the border on the barn quilt... blues above working to greens below...it wouldn't be difficult--I can picture it perfectly! I'll ask Rachel. :D

Beautiful idea! I love it!

What a fantastic quilt karla. It really does look like a lake in all its glory. Can't wait to see it "done", although this is a great window to peek into.

That is so beautiful. Would you adopt me please so I can have one too?? LOL

Karla the tree photo is the border fabric to a T! I love the way you translate your surroundings into quilts.

Oh wow those colors and fabrics are just to die for! I love it.

It's turning out amazing! The border will really draw out the green. I love it - great job!

That is very pretty.

Love it.

I love it...a very special quilt interpreting a very special place. Wonderful.

It gets prettier every time I see it!!! Lucky DD to get such a beauty :D :D :D

Love the quilt and the tree border is going to be fantastic!

Looking very nice! I love that border fabric!

Those colors are fantastic. I love the way you are putting it together.

Looking great Karla. I was waiting to see the blocks put together. It will be beautiful. I saw this in person. :lol: :lol: Pics don't do fabric justice. It is gorgeous

Karla, it's beautiful!!

It is so very, very pretty and the picture of the trees seems to be an exact duplicate of your material for the border (or the other way round :)).
I am anxious to see what you decide and the end product. Your work is exquisite.

oh wow! I really dig this one!

OK, barnbum, once again I am wiping drool off my chin. It's just not right that someone should be so talented AND nice!

Oooh, so far I like what you've posted. I can't wait to see more.

You're right! I'm going to stop being nice! :wink: I think this forum is full of talented nice people. :D

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! I had to cut more light pieces to make green squares, as my girl requested. I had plenty of blue, of course. :roll: The strips are cut, but I need to get them into triangles. Everything takes time these days... school...horses...school...horses...quilting must fit in more!!

Ooh, that's wonderful, just like the colors on the surface or the water!

Love the pic of the new horses in your avatar, too.
