Scuba, I gave myself permission last fall to 'get over it'
When same fabric ends up by same fabric, even two or three times to not futz about it.
My first time just 'letting it go' was with a 2" finished tumbler quilt from fabrics Rob brought me from Australia and New Zealand.
I love it. I think in one place there are 4 sames touching. It seems to just blend together like good friends.
This is a pet runner for the bed.
Anyway, your quilt is wonderful, and what is the point of scrappy if you have to think about it?

I don't have the sashings and corner stones in yet so not sure how it is going to look. I just wanted something to look at when I pieced it because it has taken me forever...
Thank you.
I have 10 more blocks to complete then the parallelogram things to put together....Whew! This one is a doozy!

I had 32 people respond, 'bout scared me to death So I shared that a local quilt shop will be having classes this summer.
I'm glad I didn't just jump in feet first, I can't believe how many hours I have into this project.
I'm loving it!

Kirsten: Your top is coming along nicely.
KalamaQuilts: Pretty bed runner! I usually have your way of thinking: just let go of colors close in proximity unless it is a baby quilt for a local charity or a special gift for a family member.

2 more columns to go one front and one back and Ringo's Sister will be completely assembled and quilted (the center) then I will work on borders.

Well Ringo's Sister is assembled except for the borders. I thought it was completely quilted too, but may go back and add straight quilting lines across too. It is quilted in straight vertical lines every 3 - 4 inches now. That would be enough for the batting, but I am concerned about some of those thick intersections both front and back that have no quilting line close by.

The only pieces I had left were the light / dark geese, so this is kinda what I'm thinking about for a simple border.
