I cut out my pieces today--it took most of the day. I did NOT cut the A pieces (fabric #2 and #5) in half on the diagonal yet. I am going to make my half-square triangles for the pinwheels using…Continue

Started cutting fabric today. #9 says 31 L pieces. Is that 31 triangles after cutting the squares or 31 squares which would yield 62 triangles?Continue

Does anyone have a trick to keeping pigma pens from drying out between labels? I have bought more than I can say because the one I need is always dried up when I go to use it. Any ideas?Continue

Beautiful, Debi! I think your dark print would look good as a final border. Now I can't wait to see how mine will look. My sewing room is STILL not cleaned up. I worked all day Friday on an applique project for my granddaughter, then I spent yesterday outside in the heat at a soccer game. Today I have to get busy and SEW!
Debi, your colors are so subtle and classy. Love it! You have inspired me to get with it. Hope mine comes out looking as nice as yours. I hope everyone posts their finished tops for us to see.
Comment by Debi Montgomery 12 hours ago Thanks everyone! This was fun. I will put on another darker border and then layer and quilt it. I have no idea on the quilting part though, any ideas would be appreciated.
Debi, Love the way that your quilt top is turning out.. I guess I really need to get going on mine.. I too think that a dark boarder would really make it look great.
Comment by Mary Moore 16 hours ago Yeah Debi! You should get a prize for first and most inspiring. I am almost together except for the planned border, for which I do not have enough of any of my fabrics. This is when the real fun starts...how to salvage the project.
Debi, your top is beautiful. I am inspired to get sewing!
Comment by patbruck 16 hours ago Debi,your quilt looks great,this is much nicer than what I thought the design was going to be,should have mine done next week,will post.
Comment by Debi Montgomery 18 hours ago I think I will use the same fabric as the one that is surrounding the pinwheel block. I think it is #5 (not sure), but it is my only "print" fabric, the others are more tone on tone..it also matches the small pinwheels. OR, the same as the darkest fabric in the large pinwheels.
I agree with Mary. Love your colors on your top and a dark border would certainly add to it.
Wow Debi your colors look great!! A dark border would really add to the design.
