"Design Divas" is a great name!

Here is my label - will this work? I need to trim it a bit, not sure how big to make it?

Your label looks great Suzi. Love your new avatar too - what a sweetheart she is!

TOMORROW IS THE DAY!! WOOHOO!! I'll be waving goodbye to my center as it jets off to Colorado. Looking forward to hearing from those who haven't mailed yet. HOORAY!!

Tisha's center arrived at my place today. (It is my first ever squishy package.) And it is even nicer in person than in picture. Okay, now I'm officially scared.

Got Barbara's center today . . . it's gorgeous! The bali's will be so much fun to work with. :-)

Oohhh

I'm so pleased your starting to receive the centres, I'm hoping Mareliba's centre will appear this week too. I know it's on it's way to me. I just can't wait to get my mitts on her Batik centre. :P

Tisha

I'm a little nervous - I want to do such a great job on these quilts - I'm glad we have quite a while before mailing them off again. I have been doing a lot of research on borders, I'm hoping each of the quilts "speak" to me.

Susie, your center arrived today. It is really pretty! Now, to hang it in my sewing room and ponder for a few days.

Received Lori's center today. It is truely more impressive in person.

I finished Barb's today. Whew. Had the design plan in mind, but took three tries to get the color combo right (and I only had two colors I was working with! Ugh). I think it turned out very well but now I'm just so nervous hoping she's gonna like it. I'll wait to post till everyone's closer to ready so they'll be grouped together on our thread. It will make it easier for those following along to check them out. And for us to go back to reference them too.

Received Marianne's centre yesterday, it was waiting for me when I got home. It's even more beautiful in person.
I pulled out batiks first thing this morning from my stash to use - now to put my thinking cap on LOL.

Tisha

So glad Marianne's arrived safely. Lovely new avatar you have too.

Thanks Jen - got to keep everyone on their toes LOL.

I finally found this thread - how's everyone doing? I've been quite sick for a couple of weeks, so haven't been able to sew.

I cant wait to go to the fabric store, they have the perfect material there for SewCornie's center. I saw it the last time I was in visiting (at that time I didn't have her center) now I'm on pins and needles to get there and buy it. :-)

Is anyone done with their's yet? I hope I'm not holding anyone up on posting pics. :roll:

Sure hope you and DH are feeling better Suzi. You guys have really been hit hard. Hope Jacob's all better too.

Usually I'm a quilting snail, but Barbara's center spoke to me right away and I finished it pretty quickly. Mostly because I was so excited to do it, but also to put something in the "finished column" of my project list. I don't think you're holding anybody up. Let's all check back in in a week or two and take stock of where everyone's at, okay?

Focus on getting yourself well. That's much more important than meeting a mailing date in my opinion.

Hope you're feeling better Suzi.... Here's a little somthing to cheer you up! Hope you enjoy it!! 8) :lol:

That is just so pretty I love it. The pansies are beautiful-ç.

Elle

Lori..thats very pretty! I love your little pansies in the corners!

Lori that looks so nice. The pansies are perfect.

Here's Barbara's. I couldn't believe how perfectly matched the colors were in the fabrics I found. I wanted to stay with the geometric look for this border, but keeping the next rounds in mind, added symmetry to it. Hope you like it Barbara!

Yet another beauty, well done it lovely

Elle

Yes! That fabric does match amazingly well! That was a great addition to the center :D

Wow! Beautiful! I adore the colours!

Jan

Lori, took one look at this and said WOW!! Really beautiful

sew cornie, the border is perfect for the center. It was so great that you could find fabrics that went so well with the center.

wow! what beautiful quilts

ohh pretty, pretty. I really like the blues and greens together. Your fabric has just the right tone. Looking forward to working on that one!

Okay, I'm impressed. Jennifer, it's amazing how well those fabrics match! Thanks for taking the center into a new colour.

Lori - your border is lovely. I hadn't even noticed the bright lavenders in the block until you picked them up in the border.

Tisha, you're going to have to wait a couple more days. I'm picking off what I put on and changing it. Well, some of it, anyway.

Wow!! Lori, I Love what you have done, it's just beautiful!! I really notice the lavender and also the gold from the pansy material. Your pansies are soo cute!! Thank you!!

Jen, You did a great job in keeping with the geometry. It looks like she planned it this way, it's a great continuanc and the color matches perfectly!!

I finally feel good enough to sew, Yay!!! SewCornie, I'll be traveling to buy fabric tomorrow :D :D , what a great way to start a new day!! I hope they still have the fabric I had in mind.

Thanks for the kudos everybody. This was a really nice one to work on. Different from anything I've done in the past.

Barbara, thank you for letting me share your project. I'm glad you approve.

Jen, your border is 'spot on girl'!!! Colors and pattern are great. You are the round robin speed diva on this round. :wink: So excited for you. I hear you have a new fabric shop to share the next time we visit. sounds fun. LU, mary

I found the perfect fabric - I hope you like it, Today I'll have the borders on yours Jen! I'll post when finished - must get sewing now... :D :D

oooh . . . I'm on pins and needles . . . (pun intended) :lol:

Okay, Tisha.......here's your block. One red, white and blue quilt coming up!

That's so pretty. I love the way the border keeps the fluid movement of the center. Now for ideas on how to continue the rhythm . . . . I'm really looking forward to getting this one next. Nice job Barbara!

Perfect b.zang!

WOW, love it. You did good girl.

Elle

Love the way you let the white and red flow on out!! Great job!!

cornie, love the way the shapes just keep on going!! great job!!

OK - I thought we were waiting to put our centers on the web. Should we post them again around Dec 1st so we can find them if we need to???

Here is Lori's center. I really like how it turned out.
