No No No - that focus fabric looks WONDERFUL - It's the 'organizing' part of the scrappy quilt! I LOVE it that way!

I think it's wonderful - If you don't like them - send them to ME! :) :) :)

Thank you all!

I started piecing a second OBW, you may remember the post. I also started piecing a Warm Wishes. I also posted some pics.

Well, the heart strings project quilt is for my oldest nephew, hope to have it done for his graduation in 2012. Since I hand quilt it will take forever!!! I thought I should probably work steadily on this as a piecing project instead of the others.

I found the heartstrings link on quiltville.com. I think they ask for blocks on their site so I will also send a couple there.

I think the finished size is 7.5". I will have to double check that.

I am using Bonnie Hunter's suggestion of piecing them on already cut and spuared telephone book paper. It is going pretty easily and they tear off easily.

I love the focus color strips. They are wide enough because they have such depth of color. They stand out well and really, well, FOCUS they eye. Great job so far.
