Anyway, I'm sure whatever you choose will be perfect and will look awesome on the wall of your daughters future counseling office!
    The fabric is Moda's Poems From Pebbles. I got them from Green Fairy Quilts. I fell in love with the line after making some bags with it.

    I wonder if that straight line quilting idea is the way to go. I want to enhance or pop the shadow effect--not distract from it. Feline Fanatic is my quilting advisor, but she knows I need simple easy ideas... very simple, very easy. lol

    Me too. I was confused by the upper left corners being slanted, until I realized that the left strips were not laying completely flat. Funny how our eyes can fool us into "seeing" things.

    This looks like a "just playin' and havin' fun" quilt! It brings a smile to the face just seeing it happen. Be sure to show us when you're done!

    Leaders and Enders-This is very neat. If you already use a leader and an ender why not create something as you are already using these scrap fabrics. Check these quilts out! Beautiful and the fabric was not wasted and you created an extra quilt while
