Not counting my mini how many have you done now?

Wel you know the expression 'little things please little minds!' :mrgreen:

I've made and quilted 5 full size (lap or bigger) and 3 minis plus yours. There's a full size top and a banner-shaped wall hanging waiting to be quilted. I've the blocks assembled for one more, plus the fabric for I don't know how many more! :lol:

Oh please post pics if you can - I'd love to see them!

Yes I'm always on the lookout for OBW fabric, it does make you look at fabric differently - and not only fabric! I mentally stack n whack wallpaper, rug designs, even a man's tatooed arm once. And my DH has caught it too - the other evening there was an ad on TV with a woman prancing around in a field of flowers and he started laughing. I said 'what's funny?' and he said 'I was looking to see if there was a pattern repeat in those flowers because I thought they'd make a nice OBW'!:lol:

My selvage says "Flower Mart" by Benartex Studio for Benartex # 3002
The larger print I have is called "Flower Show" # 2032 and also Benartex. It's the same print but the flowers are 9 - 11" across and the repeat is 24"
After closer inspection, the fabric I have might be in different colors. Mine seem to be more apricot, yellow and orangey-rust for the daffodil cups. This was after I looked at your last post k3n, of your closeup pic. of your border.
