    My doggy fabric came! I've got it hung up so the creases drop out (you're not supposed to wash fabric for OBWs!) then I can start cutting! Woohoo! Here it is!

    Wow am so amazed at what you all do with piecing . I am just blown away. Here I sit and think I really accomplish something when I embroider my blocks on the emb machine and throw them together. If only I had half the talent you all do .I would have never thought a print like that would look soo different in a quilt.

    Cassie, thank you for the kind words but using this technique, it's really NOT that hard, I mean it! Because the pattern is so 'busy' it hides a multitude of sins. :D

    I think this has to be free motioned, just too much going on to waste time hand quilting............... :roll: A nice open meander will do it!! :D

    K3n your quilt top turned out beautifully! I don't often envy a quilt because I know I don't have the endurance to make one. I have never cared much for the whack and stack method because to me it isn't as soft looking as the dresdens.
    BUT I love yours and it makes me wish I had the time and patience to make one! I get too antzy even when completing the hotpads. I am ready to move on to something new before I even get done with one!

    But your pansies are fantastic! I love how you did the squares in the corners! If I am going to ever get one I will probably have to buy one from someone!!
    Oh well I can dream about making one!

    Can't wait to see the next one!

    I had thought of that, although I can't drop my dogs so it would have to be a REALLY gentle meander. I've never done it before though, so I thought I'd try on a practice sandwich first. You're right, hand quilting would be lost! Maybe I'll hand quilt on the red border and I had thought of outlining the pansies on the outer border.
