    [quote=Donna Mare.I was zooming in on this to try to figure out how you did the parts in white. I didn't get it. Any chance of showing it closer? Wicked pretty quilt!! Thanks for sharing![/quote]

    It's like a lot of them, a strip of white and a strip of color, OMG this is so funny, you guys asking ME - who woulda thought, lol I have a lot of Eleanor Burns books and I bought all the DVDs to go with them, I must have played each step 100 times, lol

    .If I'm not mistaken, the entire quilt is made up of 1/2 square triangles blocks and 4-patch blocks. The pattern appears when assembled.[/quote]

    Actually Eleanor Burrns one is way easier no little squares, mostly all strips :) I would have given just about anything to have been able to find and afford a LA person to quilt it for me, would have been far more beautiful I think

    I looked at that pattern too, but I do such poor quality with squares that the strips were way easier. I find EB instructions really easy to follow
