Lol...Thanks, Ok!! Voted :thumbup:

Out of curiousity why Iowa ?

Oh dear that will be a big change! Why? If I may ask?

Here are the fabric choices I have:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]603675[/ATTACH]
To the left the fabric I purchased a few days ago.
In the middle the fabric I posted before and we all liked that one
To the right the one with the wrong pink - at least that's what I'm thinking
So it's between the left one and the middle one.
There will be lots of appliqué on the chosen fabric!

Like them both , the question is do you want the ground to read pink or white?

That I still don't know Wannabee. I thought the white might be too light? Because most of the quilttop reads pink, but that also could be a reason to use the white one as borders.
But this one is a bit out of my comfort zone too as it doesn't have white background so I might continue that and take the pink as border.
I guess I have to think about it for a little longer.

I like the pink - mostly becuase there is a lot of background that already reads white to me - with the blocks you have shown. I like how the pink seems to pull them together. And even though it's dots, it seems to blend more into a nice background while the white with the small print reads speckled, so it find it a bit more distracting as a background.

However there will be reasons you'd want to select the white specifically because it does have more movement than the pink - so it all depends on the look you are going after. "lots of movement" does end up on the edge of my comfort zone.

And that is why the Delilah quilt is way out of my comfort zone, but I am liking it so far.

The next set of 9" blocks. These had a lot of Y seams. The little wheel in the center is great for marking them. Does not matter what angle the sides are coming together at, you can always line it up to mark the point. I use a very fine tip marker. It's permanent, but the mark is so small it won't be seen on the front. I'd probably use a washable marker if I had one with a fine enough tip to fit in the center hole.

Never heard of a single seam wheel. Sounds interesting. Love the new blocks!! And I still want to raid your stash :D :D

I don't think I need more movement in the quilt. Because of the appliqué I think the fabric needs to blend into the background like you said.
