THANK YOU! I think I've been 'over thinking' this quilting process and it's about to drive me bonkers. I think your quilting method is the way to go and will do the same. I really wanted to use monofilament, or invisible thread, but after trying every suggestion in the book, that thread just doesn't want to work for me, so I'll match the fabric and SID. Thank you again, now I'll be able sleep instead of dwelling on it!!

LOVE YOUR QUILT, you did a fantastic job!

It gives the quilt life and movement and depth

LOVE YOUR Quilt, magnificant! SID it will be for me as well

When you say stitch in the ditch along each 'petal'... what is the 'petal'?
Thanks

This is not paperless piecing. The book AND the pattern is a seperate purchase (You get all the patterns from the book with that puchase) as I recall, its been a couple of years. Taking the paper off went pretty quick....I highly recommend leaving all the paper on until you are finished. Otherwise you will have a bias stretchy mess on your hands.

I just love the color combo and the center of kountrykreations quilt....its a real beauty.

Wow, that is a beauty! I have a Bella Bella on my cutting table right now. It is the St Marks wall hanging, very similar to your, but with fewer "petals". Of course, I can never make anything simple or by the book. Mine has a rainbow of color going from the true color to the tint of each color of the rainbow. Me and my seam-ripper are best of friends right now. I am so glad that LeAnne posted about paperless piecing, I'll have to see if that works!
