Do it! It's not that hard, I mean it! And your first won't be your last, I'll guarantee it. :-D

You can alternate quilts with the seasons or your mood!! Then you've got an art gallery instead of "wall space"!!!

Wow! You done gooooooood, girlfriend! It looks wonderful! But it looks smaller than it probably is. My first thought was, "Oh no! I didn't send her enough of the fabric!" I don't remember how much I did send, but I probably should have doubled it so you could have a bed-sized quilt. Sorry. :cry:

Anyhow, you did an amazing job! And your FMQ looks just fine!!

:shock: It's beautiful, K! I love the fabric that Gai sent. You do such wonderful work.

Oh, you! I can't remember how much you sent either but I WANT it hanging on my wall where I can see it and it's 4' x 5' so it's perfect! So there! :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone for your kind words. :-D

Oh now that one turned out great! I really like the colors! I am going to have to suck it up and try the cubes now. Can you use the original fabric for them or do you think it needs to be different? I will have to do some checking to find something for Dad's Fall OBW. He would love trying to figure out that extra puzzle in the middle. LOL

In this one, I used different fabrics and I think that works best. Something that 'reads' as a solid in light, medium and dark of the same colourway. I guess tonals, blends or batiks would be good - these are scraps from my stash.

In the 'Woofers' one I did, I used the main fabric and the cubes nearly disappeared. (Also I didn't have the second book then so the cubes in that one aren't very 3D) I tried to cut from within the fabric in light, medium and dark places. Depends on the effect you're looking for I guess. Here's a link to it but I think you saw it before. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-23403-1.htm

In this Leaf one, I tried to place them so the light side of a cube was against light hexagons and dark against dark because I wanted them to blend. A more striking effect would be to reverse this. Sorry, favourite subject, rambling! :oops: :lol:

You right! I will have to find something else, but you know any excuse to go fabric shopping will do in a pinch! :mrgreen:

I'm going to have to add that solid block too. Thank you, thank you for getting my creative juices going again. I have really been slouching since the holidays.
