    I forgot to attach the picture! Let me do that this time.

    This is a quilt I am making for a friend. She selected the fabric and the pattern. We don't live near each other, so she mailed the fabric and I am sending her pictures. I am looking for someone who appreciates scrapy quilts to tell me this is going to look okay.

    There will be white sashes between the blocks, similar to the way it looks here on my design wall. Then there will be a small border made out of the yellow fabric with orange circles and an outer border make out of the black fabric with sort of fireworks display thing on it.

    I have never been able to visualize what a quilt will turn out like. I am hoping one of you can visualize it and say it will look good.

    I have sent my friend this picture, and she loves it. I just don't. Scrapy is very hard for me. I tend to do two colored quilts or maybe three colors...

    Sorry for the posting last night with no picture. I was tired...just an excuse, but true.

    I like scrappy quilts and I think this is very nice. As long as your friend is happy - that's what counts.

    I do agree here....except for one thing: I am NOT a scrappy person :oops: . It's not that I don't like them, in fact, I really do like them; but getting the scraps really random drives me nuts. I never think they're really right.

    This scrappy quilt is darling!
