Wow! The pictures show amazing quilt toppers.

Thank you to the people that gave suggestions on which B fabric I should use. Emma, I'm glad I switched my B fabric too.

I will lose the points on most of the corner 4 1/2 inch blocks and it isn't exactly square. Oh, well, at least I can say I did setting triangles and put the topper on an angle. More angled tops will now be in my future because it was easier than I thought at least to this point. I am concerned about the 'twist' that Judy mentioned in this last direction. :)

Here is mine, on the design wall, have a bunch of sewing to do..lol I think I tried every pc of fabric in the room before I put this one with it and it clicked, at least for me..Hope I did ok.. I think there are more of these in my future..:) Everyone's tops are really pretty, but I'm really partial to Dot's batik, and the purple w/flowers ones..but I love batiks and particularly flowers..:) This has been another fun ride, I'm just kinda settin' and watching the countryside go by, thanks again PMJ...

It is in Anoka on Main Street between 2nd and 3rd Ave. If you like PM me and we can take this off-list.

Great toppers Dotty. I love the last one with all the fruits. Looks good enough to eat.

I am defiantly planning on doing this pattern again. My next one is going to be a baby quilt for my friends daughter. What a great pattern Judy. I am happy I joined this ride.

sunliten smiles:) thanks for the chuckle!

4 choices as I think the B fabric that I matched my 3 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch blocks to is way too busy. It is the last picture. Suggestions, anyone on what looks best? If I don't use the B fabric now, maybe it can be part of the border or the backing.

I will check back after I go to Hudson for my son's 31st birthday dinner!

Jabba: Never apologize to a quilter for showing your stash. As pretty as your topper is I bet about half us spent more time peering at the beautiful fabric in your stash. OK: That floral relay works well with your blocks. It really is funny, that when you hit the "right" one there is almost an audible click. Boone: Such a pretty scrappy! So many diverse fabrics and the blend perfectly.

Jabba I really like yours too! It's like a sweet song, beautiful arrangement.
