    Okay, my quilts are simple but I am learning bit by bit. I do things the hard way (without patterns or a plan). The blue quilt was my first attempt at curves using Sara Moe's winding Curves templates. I started it with scraps and don't have enough to make an extra row of nine inch blocks all the way around. I believe that would be the best. It now measures 36 x 55 inches. I was considering a 3 inch dark blue with 6 inch white/blue print outer border. Being me, I would like to incorporate alittle more red. What do you think?

    Red on the outside, white in the middle and blue on the inside. Great job without a pattern!

    I agree. Good job on the curves! And I like your design wall, I've never seen a magnetic one. Boy, all the things we learn on this board.
