also,
the reason it (and sid) is hard is that you don't have the same control as when you're working close to the needle. also, here, there's nothing under the fabric to stabilize it, so the fabric kind of bounces up and down. keeping event lines is harder until you get a feel for it. i would start on simpler quilts without curves.

Also, I'm sure this would look incredible with hand stitching 1/4" from the seams. I don't have the skill or patience for that, but it seems like you do.

Great info. As far as the layout, I change it up everytime a finish another block, so, no this is not the final layout. By the way, I have changed it four times today. I don't think I want sashing on this one. I want the curvers to stand. I think I will be putting it on point, I like the looks of it better. So, if I put it on point, there well be solid blocks around the edges. At least this is what I am think so far, but, that could change tomorrow. Any ideas.
I got the blocks on the web, they are called New York Beauty, but, I am calling mine: spiked with color.
Keep sending ideas, I am loving all the information.
p.s. You might be right about hand quilting it and not taking my chances with the frame.

those blocks are called new york beauty. it's odd, isn't it, that no matter how different they are from each other, they're still all called the same name? traditionally, they are not separated by sashing. imo, that's what gives it it's
contemporary interest. it's wonderful.
btw, i love it's new name :wink: .

Thanks so much for your kind words on my quilting skills, but, I am in NO way a master. I just like to create and sew. I wish I was a master at the quilting part, that's where I get timid and a bit intimadated. Sad there isn't a easy button for that. lol Just need a lot more pratice.
As far as sewing goes, I have been doing that part for years and love it. Just a quick look at what I do other than quilting.
I own Hawghugger Leather and I make motorcycle leathers. A lot of what I make is custom work and my creativity comes out full bore. As you can see, I love color.
