Beautiful quilt top, Battle Axe! I usually put my setting triangles on at either end of each row. Then when I sew the rows, they are there and it only took straight seaming, no corner fitting (Y seams). That works easiest for me with on point settings.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]585938[/ATTACH]Here is the Autumn Evenings with sashing. Now I am fighting the setting and corner blocks. Since I put 2 inches of purple sashing, I need to make these blocks two or more inches bigger. Thought there was a book in my library on setting things on point. Of course I had to make 18 blocks instead of the 13 that Debbie had us do. The good news is that I feel I have made a dent in my left over Fresh Lilacs fabric bin. For the extra blocks I scrounged some ruined things from other quilts and just remade them.

Well I finally got my blocks together (about a month ago) and stopped. I thought there was too much black and not enough color, so kind of laid it aside thinking, how I could get some life into it. In some things I don't like to not finish before starting a new; i.e., books and quilt(tops). SO...... I need to get this top finished before I can start a new project. Hence, I put this top on the design wall and it's not as dark and dull as I thought!! So here it is. I'm thinking about the purple fabric as a border, and I'm calling her 'done". I do not take good pics, sorry.
Marcia, if I haven't told you before, I like everything about yours. I like your quilt-style.
Now to see if I can post a pic. It's not happening. Will read up on it and try again.

lawsonmugs (Mary) & Battle Axe (Marcia) - I have been following your efforts and hard work while making your lovely blocks - You both are defintely motivating and inspirational - Thank you for showing each of your blocks! Great work!!!
Jaiade - your blocks are pretty with a modern twist! Good job!
Is anyone doing the "Stars Over Balitmore" blocks? I was wondering if the star blocks are all the same with just different colors? I am intrigued by this pattern and may buy the applique blocks since the BOM started in January but was wondering about the stars. Info on this is greatly appreciated
