    Ta Moonglow.

    The print in the posted image was borrowed from the internet, but the actual print is really very similar. I altered the colours in photoshop so they matched my fabric and the floral is almost identical.

    You be the judge when you see my completed project.

    Thanks SuzyQ

    Are you coming to sing in Newcastle in Novemeber? There was an ad on TV the other night advertising your upcoming tour - lol

    I got this pale maroon (dark pink) solid, I just wish it was a tad lighter. Guess I'll see how I go.

    I think it looks very good!! Can't wait to see the finished product!! I have not attempted triangles either. I would worry about the corners. Probably I just don't have a good picture in my head of how to do them. I have done half square triangles, but I don't like doing them....not with any of the three methods I used.

    I think you are so wise to be starting with a wall hanging instead of something really huge. Everyone told me to do that, but I ignored them. Just quilting that sucker almost did me in.

    I've only been quilting 2 years....still consider myself a beginner.

    I would like to see it with lighter pink sashing but it's going to be lovely this way also.
