Think I need to visit you, and check all your fabrics. I love the ones you chose.
As for the dogs.. They look like they are very loved. I wouldn't think of living without a dog..

I finally finished the 44 small stars that go around the border, wheeeeeeeeee....22 white stars and 22 dark blue, I did 15 today.

Now all I have to do is sew the blocks together as all the blocks are done. I thought I'd show you the sea of stars lol..

I love your color choice for this pattern. I think it will be very beautiful. Your puppies are adorable. All of my kids are
very happy to be my inspectors everytime I am quilting. They are very good assistants 8D

I think its going to be very pretty. It almost looks like the Snail Trail pattern.

I thought I'd show you some more tips. Here is a strip cut for at a 45 degree angle and now it needs to be cut in half to make two triangles. Even tho I cut very precise, I still use the template out of the book to make sure. I lay the template down on the strip and put my ruler's 1/4 ins on the 1/4 ins line of the template and cut. Sure enough, I had a little left over.

I have been sewing the blocks together and then some of the rows. I had to extend the bed with cardboard in order to see the blocks.

Here is some of the work. I am on the eight row and find that I have to make a few more Reels, about six and a couple large stars, but that should do it. What a project.

Since the blocks have to be set up on point, it takes a lot of room.

Also Molly says Hi lol.

Hello there, Rosyhf! I have spent, I don't know how much time, looking through all of your posts. What a delight each one of them is. I was especially taken with the one you just finished, the Diamond Pineapple pattern. LOVE it. Colors, pattern, workmanship....you name it, I like it. :) I have posted it to my Facebook Fan Page so that others may be inspired to the same great heights. Thank you so much for sharing all of your thoughts. See what you think: http://on.fb.me/Z9rBMb Much Love to you, Fondly, Robin

Thank you Robin for all the lovely compliments. I checked your FB and enjoyed all the quilts you have posted up there. You have a very nice page. I wish I had time to fiddle with mine lol.
