    gramajo,
    I LOVE your quilt. I'm always drawn to the white/ivory backgrounds. Your other colors just look lovely!

    Melissa,
    Yours is very pretty too! It's amazing how different a quilt looks with different background colors. I'm currently making a quilt with charcoal background and sashing, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

    Regards,
    Kif

    My LQS did this as a BOW. We received 2 blocks and fabric each week. Colors choices were pastels or darker/brighter fabrics. Usually I lean toward brighter colors but I'm glad I did this in pastels. We did not make all the blocks in the book so it is smaller. I like my quilts to be different from others so put 4 blocks together, sashed them and set on point.
    Thank you, Dottie D and kiffie.

    Absolutely stunning. I like how you put 4 blocks together in the first quilt and then sashed them.

    Melissa, that is one monumental quilt you have constructed, and a real beauty too. How long did it take for you to complete all of those blocks?
