    Hi Eddie: I have the same hydrangea fabric with a periwinkle background, and the wine raspberries. I haven't yet decided what pattern to use; I like the one you chose. Keep us all posted!

    I've been busy sewing up blocks tonight, so it's starting to come together. I'll post some pics in the next few days once they start to look like something.

    Also, the owner of the quilt shop actually picked out the fabrics, I just totally agreed with her choices. :)

    I've got most of the sub-blocks pieced so thought I would lay them out and see what the bigger picture is going to look like once I piece them to each other. Below is a pic. I like it! The corner bow-tie kinda blocks aren't pieced together yet, so they look bigger than their neighbor blocks, but they'll be right once I get them pieced.

    OOH LA LA I love your color choices. Eddie it's turning out fabulous, have you quilted your own quilt before? I took a stippling class one time and fell in love with it. Keep up the great work, I bet your wife is excited too! :D

    That's stunning!

    I have some of that range of fabrics too, and up until now I've never seen a pattern that really did them justice. This is awesome, they look fantastic.
