What was wrong with what you were doing? Don't get disheartened, if you need some advice, there are some great people here who might be able to help.

Now that I have finished mine, the only problem I have is that I will have to remember the safe place I am going to put it in! I have liked absolutely every centre block posted so far, and yet they are all incredibly different. I just wanted to get mine sorted so that I didn't feel under pressure right from the off, so to speak. I have never been keen to leave things to the last minute, though I appreciate that others work best if they do that. I shall look forward to more posts as time goes on.

I too am absolutely blown away by the beautiful centers....I am working on mine this weekend....figure I would give myself plenty of time in case I hate the way it comes out.

All the centers are beautiful!
LoriJ - I've been thinking about making a Southwestern quilt with ONE basket in the center similar to yours for a long time. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the colors you've chosen and am eager to see it pieced. Go, go, go girl :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Lori, Your colors are so vibrant! Can't wait to see the center finished. Wow.

Lacelady, I've enjoyed watching your progress on your diary thread. Your basket and flowers look amazing!

Thanks Sew Cornie, I am still not sure whether I contravened the new 'rules' for the diaries, but I didn't get my knuckles rapped, so possibly not. I love your soft gentle colours for your centre. Are you planning to keep this one for yourself?

Yes Lesley, I think this one's for me. When I finished my son's bed quilt for his 4th birthday last year (my avatar), it was the first one in 8 years that hadn't left the house as a gift. For the backing I'm going to look into getting some of that world map fabric that was mentioned pages and pages ago. I'd like to have each quilter to sign a separate label which I can then applique onto the map in the appropriate location of their country.

Sorry posted this in the wrong one first.

ditto! I've already got my map (from ebay) and I planned to do the same, with perhaps some ribbon tracing the route.

Lovely design, Norbana, and the colours are really cheerful. I can see lots of possiblities for borders.
