    Karen, either way is good. It's the same pattern. Just depends on if you want the diamonds to be pink or white and the center of the stars black or yellow. You could flip a coin and it would be great either way!

    Karen, your fabrics are just scrumptious!

    quilt addict, do you mean, what should you do about having more blocks than you expected? Could you make the charity quilt bigger?

    Finished! I took a pic last night and saw that one of the borders was on wrong so had to re-do that this morning. The borders were a challenge with the size that I made but I worked through it. May have to replace my seam ripper after all the mistakes I made on this quilt. I changed up the colors a bit and I really love the way it turned out.

    Pam, have you tried posting photos recently? I was wondering if you're still having problems with that.

    Yes, I have. It seems I can no longer post pics here from my i-Pad. I had to copy and paste this from facebook.

    Wow, everyone has come so far since I last checked in on this thread! I got sidetracked by making a fox quilt for my niece for her birthday (Jan 30th.). I almost have the top finished and am going to an open forum type class tonight to get some help with sandwiching and tips on quilting. Really hoping to get that done and shipped out this week at some point and plan on getting back to bonnie this week! Everyone's look so pretty and I can't wait to get back to it. Also have plans for a one block wonder... I found the perfect fabric (I think)!

    Karen, I love the double border, great idea! I got behind during the holidays, so I'm still putting my blocks together. The thing about being behind, I get to see all the beautiful finished quilts and take in other's suggestions.

    They will be the same vertically, but if they don't work horizontally, I'll just 'fudge' something somewhere, LOL!
