Welcome, Anita!! Enjoy the Kingwell journey. Fun patterns!

Anael....I heard that! :D Good girl finishing those beautiful UFO's.

Oh dear..........:D :D :D

I'm not finishing any UFO right now, I'm embroidering another pillow. Just a small project in between. Then I might make some more Christmas decorations before going back to my UFO's again :)
The BD is still patiently waiting downstairs LOL

Hope someone can guide me on this. I am having a terrible time with choosing neutral light fabrics (doing LTG). I have lots of white-on-white and beige-on-beiges; have some white with blacks. Other than that, no neutral lights. Anyone have any ideas? Can I use the whites and beiges? I have a silver grey solid for the sashing, so I'd like something that goes decently with the grey. Thanks for any suggestions.

I used white-o-white for LTG. My sashings are pink. Silver grey would work perfect, as long as you like it, it's ok.
Here's my LTG.

I used a variety of light neutrals, including some grey and white. As long as you have a definitive contrast you should be okay. [ATTACH=CONFIG]620579[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]620580[/ATTACH]

Both are beautiful! Love seeing these again!

Oh Anael, I missed seeing the finished LTG quilt. Or, I think I did. It came out so good! I love how you threw in quirky little prints like the turtles. They make me smile.

Thanks for the answers to my neutrals dilemma. I actually made my first bow tie block and used white/black fabrics. When I am finished with bow tie #2, I will post them here. I haven't been this inspired to make a quilt in a long time. Thanks for the inspiration and the pictures of your gorgeous quilts!

I can't wait to see your start and will gladly cheer you on. I don't have any of the Kingwell patterns yet. I have a super huge busy year planned to make a few quilts from my bucket list and finished up a boat load of UFO's. So, I can't really fit anything else on the list right now. Well, I list them on the list, but, they are way down there right now. I will be loosing several months during the summer because I'm going to my daughters house this summer to baby sit so my SIL can do his clinicals. Otherwise, I don't think they could afford a sitter for the grands. I want to see him finish school without having to delay his education.

Yes ladies, I am planning to take some type of hand project with me. And, may take my (crappy) machine to do bindings on some quilts that I am going to send off to a LA'r. We'll see what I can get done before I have to go. I have 5 UFO quilts ready for the LA'r at the moment. I will probably send off 3 to the quilter next week.

Mkotch, those are great colors your using. Your quilt is going to be very classic and calming looking.

I made 2 quilts in those type colors. A Dutchman's Puzzle quilt and a DP9 made out of the leftovers from the DPB quilt. I really like them but, I'm not in a hurry to use beige, tan, again anytime soon.

I really like yours though. Very pretty.

And, your My Small World came out fantastic. Love all the fun colors.
