Ok...I agree on the pebbling..you know sometimes you just need some 2nd..3rd..4th..opinions from people who actually know what you are talking about. DH has excellent taste but has a hard time visualizing sometimes. He also doesn't think about options that I don't explain to him. But thanks for all ya'll's 2 cents!

Go JAN!!!!
Thanks Rach and Sharon. I did finish up the 4th side today and then got 2 sides of the scallops done...so I'm inching my way there....I should be able to finish the quilting in a couple more hours. I'm excited but also scared!!
Now...does anyone have any idea how much binding it takes to do this baby? I want to use the continuous cut bias and need to figure out what size square to cut for it. Also...should I cut the scallops before sewing the binding on....or sew the binding on the marked line, then cut....
I was thinking of using the brown for binding, but might change my mind and use one of the beiges...that is IF I can figure out how much I will need and IF I have enough. Anybody good with math???? Where is Gai when you need her???

I remember someone saying that you should sew the binding on before you cut the scallops - I think it was Eleanor Burns on one of her shows. I have only done a couple of scaoolped edges & I left the fabric alone until I sewed it on. Worked just fine! I think ou would need to stitch around the edge before cutting to keep the layers together. I'd just as soon only stitch arounf the thing once! :-)
