MUCH ANYMORE SINCE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RSD ( FORM OF
MS). ALSO, I WANT TO MAKE A QUILT WHERE EACH BLOCK
ONLY HAS 3 PIECES FOR A QUEEN SIZW BED. I WANT ONLY
TOILE FABRIC IN BURGUNDY, YELLOW/GOLD AND GREEN.

ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF?

Thanks for your comments Dorian, but as you see I live in Spain, so I can't recommend how to find a quilter to do your quilt, but I am sure lots of people here will have good advice for you, if you make a separate post so it will get more notice that way :D

If you do a google search for big block quilt patterns, you will find a number of modern contemporary designs that only use 2 or three fabrics in large pieces, they can look really stunning...good luck!! :D

Izy was just drooling and devouring every picture, and then, lo and behold, you did one with a ruler, - the block I love the most. It might be some kind of star? dunno, but it's smashing...I'm gobsmacked too :shock: , whatever that is :D ...from the way you and Elle talk, I think it's like flabbergasted in a BIG way! :lol:

Amazing Izy~~~ Simply amazing! I've been working on a miniature storm at sea and your right when you say you need to take a break every once and awhile. Paper piecing is the only way to do mini's. I've done a few with out and it's easier for me using paper. excited to see how yours looks when finished. Thanks for sharing.

Terri, You are always so generous with your encouragement...but I like it :D :D :D Bless you, so I am impressed Bill now, well I say..... :oops: :oops: :oops: :D

Izy...he just loves the work that you ladies in Spain do. He told me when I go to visit to bring an empty suitcase so I can take home the quilts. lol

He loves all the quilts I show him and I show him pretty much all of them..that is when he is home. If he's not here, well suffice to say, he doesn't get to see any. lol I show him pics of the pets, people, quilts, countryside...everything. He loves them
But he's soo amazed by how small those blocks are. He asked me if I could make them. I said sure, but they won't look as good as yours! :) :)
