    QuiltE, I already have another fabric on my guest bed that is calling to me. It will be challenging because it is 108" wide fabric and I was unable to buy a full 6 repeats going LOF, but it does have 6 repeats going WOF. So, I will have to cut it a bit different but I am pretty sure I can arrived at the same place with 6 stacked matched sets of fabric. This one is a creamy aqua background with large roses and other flowers in varying shades of pink (probably 5 to 6 different shades which I think will make the blocks really interesting) with green leaves all in a large bouquet formation. This will result in a fair number of blocks mostly aqua and a fair number of blocks all pink then a mix of blocks with pink and green and pink and aqua. I can't wait to get at it!!

    Oh no !!! I don't need another challenge YET ......... I am SO far behind on so many quilty things, it's ridiculous!!
    Your fabric sounds beautiful ... I have a feeling you will be racing from this one into the next.
    And honestly, I don't think the sawtooth binding will be that hard ... just tedious and one to do with caution and great attention.

    First, the quilt is on its way to awsome! the dog ear thing is not a problem. I would simply push a pin straight though the seam where the two fabrics intersect. Leave that pin in place and secure pins on both sides of the seam to hold them in place. then remove the pin that held the seam points together.


    Others on the QB probably have better instructions then I do.


    love the fabric you used for this beauty!
    peace

    OMG!! That's BEAUTIFUL!!! I love those fabrics. I think the coral one would work with a light binding. Gorgeous!

    I think your OBW is going to be beautiful! And you've already gotten tons of good advice about matching up the center points. When I did my recent OBW, I had some points and some without points, but just matched the centers and all went just fine.

    I wanted to answer the person that asked about the fabric. It is from the Moda Oasis line a year or two back. I made a quilt from this line using a brick pattern last year that turned out really nice and still have lots of left overs. The large piece of cream and 2 large pieces of the coral print I just purchased last week. A few places still have some of this line available. I'll probably end up with 4 or 5 quilts from this Oasis fabric but really like the colors so that is fine.
