    Isn't that amazing what a beautiful quilt all those whites and off whites will make?! It is actually fascinating to look at and see all the ways white can be done. Everyone will love that!

Two of our bedroom walls are plate glass so we can lay in bed or sit on the lounge and look at the outdoors. Assuming I get it figured out, the quilt will go on our bed.

    Is there some formula to to putting together the lights and darks or may I slavishly follow what you have done? I am a good technician and problem solver but no artistic talent anywhere so if you feel inclined to tell me sizes and anything else you feel germane, it would be appreciated.

    Thanks for listening to my sob story.

    I really just used scraps to start..had lots of strips cut from other projects where I used white on white and off whites and then I just cut more ..i varied them from 1"-2" and just used about 20 different ones..I have some whites next to each other and some off whites but over I i tried to just mix them up a bit so each would show up more...not hard at all
    I found some of my scraps had too much yellow tone and some of the beige looked almost pinkish so i was careful to use ones that i really liked the looks of..some whites can even had a grey tone to them...
