BTW non quilters rarely notice if the seams don't line up they are in so much awe that they don't see what you do. We work so closely with our fabrics that we KNOW what is off .. most of the rest of the world does not adults as well as children.

Glad you posted. I cant wait to see the NEXT ONE! (grin) I know your dying to start that project). Hey how about a four patch posie (posey) with that other fabric? easier to line up and still a similar effect but only four square cuts.

The blue makes it seem like a "boy" quilt when it really is better suited for a girl. Could you add a light pink border?

Also, in the book you just sent me there is a picture of a OBW with embriodered birds flying out of the edges, maybe you could put some flowers falling out into the border.

I think it is very pretty.

One more idea...add rabbits and donate it to Rabbit Meadows, that would be sooooooo cute!

I really like it. I'm making an OBW right now and sounds like I feel the same way you do. I'm not too excited about it, but I'm going to finish!!! Even if it ends up being a dog bed. lol Thank you for posting, I promise I will to.

I think this is a very peaceful quilt. It would be a unique baby quilt.

I think that is beautiful! It is so subtle..I really like the way it turned out. I think a blue border to finish it off is a good idea too. Love it. You did a great job.
