It is surprisingly large - approximately 21"W x 35"H. Here is a picture of all the panels plus top and bottom borders before I put it together. If you look closely at the center panel, you will see the redwork pattern that I am going to hand quilt.

omg jnct14! I've been a little out of touch with this group. I DO plan on participating but holidays are ugly times for me lol. So I am behind....is this what you are making for the swap? It is exquisite. I have mine planned but haven't started. Thank you for upping the ante. Lol!

Kassaundra your fabric is very intriguing. Looks like it can be used in some exciting ways.

Sooty I am playing catch up. UBE, I didn't realize you had knee surgery. I hope you are healing nicely! Blessings to you.

Lol, sorry about the typo above. Darn auto spell! It was supposed to be "sorry".
K, i took another look at your fabric and it reminds me of a flowing stream in the winter when snow makes everything white. Lovely fabric!

I've had it for a while trying to figure out exactly what to do w/ it. I think this will be a good use of some of it. I think I found a nice bright magenta pink that will go nicely w/ it for the idea I have.

Oh and I've been playing w/ shapes and I was thinking offset oval, but now think I've settled on trapezoid.

Here is the basic shape and size, the background magenta pink will be the second color used. Both fabrics have texture and sheen, but not actual "shine"
