Okay, finally finished mine. Hope I can get it to post. I make mistakes I didn't go back and redo and I don't like my colors but I am thankful this feeble mind was able to put it together.[ATTACH=CONFIG]505202[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]505203[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]505204[/ATTACH]

Brookmarie, how wide are your black sashings? I think your idea will work best for me. I've been playing with the pieces all week and have yet to come up with something I like. Your changes tone things down but still keep the integrity of the original idea nicely.

Joy, I love your colors. I find them beautiful together.
brookemarie, you really got a different effect by giving your 'blue' the darkest value. Very interesting! I think that second version works really well.

Krista your top looks great!
I finally finished my GI. I made one throw using bonnie's pattern but no outer border. The second one I wanted to look different so I added some sashing and cornerstones. I am really happy with both types and can't wait to quilt them to put in my camper this summer.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments on my blocks. I'm in the process of webbing the 12 blocks together now (and losing some slanted diamond points in the process. Oh well, I knew that would happen)
Brooke, I love both your quilts.

I fell head over heels in love with a backing fabric the other day and impulsively ordered 10 yds. of it, most of what they had left. Now I'm on tenterhooks wondering if I'll get it, or if another order got in before mine. I can't find it anywhere else on line.

Joy and Brookemarie, your quilts all turned out wonderful. Brooke you managed to get two completely different 'looks'!
Joe'smom, I hope you got the fabric you wanted. Can you call and find out if you got it? I found the perfect geranium print for my backing, but there was only about 1.5 yards left on the piece... so I'll be having to do something creative with that backing, like put it in the middle surrounded by other fabrics from the front. Should be interesting.
