That turned out great. Did you post this in progress? I know someone was working on a NYB and posted that great website with the free PP patterns, I could swear this was it but you only had the middle portion done at that time. Anyway it sure is a wowser. Can't wait to try NYB and your beautiful quilt is some great inspiration.

Quilting... that is tough. I do like the idea of a circular design, maybe a batist fan or variation of that or spiraling circles. I'd definitely want to get a pro longarmers opinion. Where is that Green Fairy when we need her?? :lol:

Now that is purely wonderful!

I wouldn't detract from the design by stitching across it, so I guess that means I'd stithc in the ditch.

Stunning!!!! I am in awe of those of you who do paper piecing. I did my first, a very simple empty spool, yesterday. Wasn't great, but wasn't horrible either.

That's a beautiful quilt top. Nice work. For the quilting, I would just do an end-2-end pattern. With all the colors and the intricate pattern, detailed quilting probably won't show up on the top.
