This! I think the background color of the florals matches better. The sunny yellow is so nice, but it's brighter looking in the picture than the top and overpowers it a little.

I never thought of taping it down!!! 🤯

I agree on the sashing. Then each CH fabric would have more of a chance to stand on its own and be seen as an individual rather than a collective. Sashing same color as the background stripes in the squares.

Back of the quilt, too windy for a good pic!

All finished with my Woollypetals Wash Your Paws quilt for my awesome friend

I like the middle one with the light border best. I love the center medallion it creates and the red-orange pops of flame that star in the darker middle border.

Six placemats completes at the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild retreat this weekend, and 6 more nearly done.

I cut my scraps down to sizes I can easily use like 2.5" squares and 5" squares. It gets me handling fabric and eases me into the flow, and makes my room more organized in the process.

You bet, try it. I'm in 2 guilds -- one is younger and one is older. The older average age guild is actually more active and has better projects and programming than the younger!

It looks like it wants to be a bag or pouch to me 😁

And such a GOOD inspector, too! Right in the action.

Thank you! There were many steps and much potash to set the colors. Not sure I'll do it again but I'm glad I did it once.

Pieced the quilt back from scraps, cut the batting to size... and lost steam for the pin basting. There's always next weekend.

A finished quilt top. Wash Your Paws pattern by Woollypetals. Just need to piece a back and get it basted so I can quilt it up. A gift for a friend ❤️ #quiltsky

Perhaps "Monkey Around" as in a round of money wrenches. 🙈

If this is lost then I don't want to be found 😉

Awwww so adorable! And so very helpful.

Not so hard! The fabric doesn't unravel at all

EPP - I like playing with glue 😁

Michael's sells fabric now at some stores. You get it cut from the bolt at the framing counter.

I love a layer cake. I usually make big HSTs and arrange them in my design wall in a way that speaks to me. Simple and quick.

Ditto that question. Enquiring minds want to know 😉

This is my favorite visual today, I love it!

Nice frankenbatting! Those are some truly small scraps. Of course, the quilt is lovely, too 🙂

You did that on your regular home machine, not a long arm? Wow!

Gotta love #catsonquilts! I'd love to see that whole quilt.

I like sashing without cornerstones personally. It sets the bear paws on their own in a field of white and gives each the space to breathe. But your choice will be right for YOU! Have fun.
