I didn't even notice this was only going to be 8". But here it is, now I have 2 BOM done. I am only getting started and I am still working on the Red Hat Lap. Got stuck on it and have had to work thru a problem with the sashing, I think I have it solved now.

I added enough green border to bring it up to 12" finished size.

My Cabbage Rose, not perfect by any means but done!

P.S. I like PP and I didn't do that cabbage rose. It had Y-seams. Yuck!

go sit in the bowl
:mrgreen:

Now was that nice? Hmm? Remember, I shared my star with you. You can clearly tell from that that Y-seams are not to be trusted! Yucky, :twisted: nasty little Y-seams. Stay far, far away from them C. Quilter! They are not safe!! They drive you mad :!:

CQ don't listen to her! She started me on my road to madness!

I didn't catch this conversation earlier. It's probably a bit late in the day but if anyone's interested I redrew the cabbage rose so there were no Y-Seams cause I hates them too :twisted: . Block was a tiny bit different, but not much. Just not sure how to share it. Is done in EQ5 so maybe I could E-mail it to you Patrice and you could work your usual magic :P . Whatcha think :?:

DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF PAGE SCALING BEFORE PRINTING IN ACROBAT READER. ALSO REMEMBER TO SELECT "PRINT AS IMAGE" UNDER THE "ADVANCED" OPTION.

I hope with each pp I do that I improve. I like it but just don't do as nicely as I would like. So this is my cabbage rose. I didn't realize right away it was only an 8in version. Wish it had been 12 instead. Then again that might not look as good I don't know.

Cropped cabbage rose, borders added.
