Florence, I love your idea! So bright and pretty and scrappy. The yellow border makes it so festive and summery. Delish!

Florence, that is a great layout! And it's amazing how the whole flavor of the quilt can be influenced by the color of the solid border! Have fun!!

Ok, I'm finally back, and figuring out how to get my image from EQ6 to TQS...
Here is where I'm thinking of going with this--this image is 4 blocks together, each is simply an eight-pointed star, but with the lights & darks arranged differently, and the blocks rotated, a bunch of secondary patterns emerge. Surely someone's done this before, if anyone knows a name for it let me know! It's very scrappy, I've been cutting a zillion 2 1/2" squares to work with this.

Louise;

Hope things are going well for your husband’s recovery. Just got back from a trip & I am just catching up on postings. I am so sorry to hear of your husband’s heart attack. My prayers are being sent your way for a speedy recovery. Please let us know if there is anything your SoTTT can do to help; don’t hesitate to let us know.

Take care,

After reading lois' comment about your beautiful work (done in your 400 sf apt) I had to checkout your profile. Your work is beautiful and I especially like the peacock feather quilt - just awesome. Keep it up.

snowladyns, I just visited your profile and l wish to high heavens that you had a beautiful spacious sewing room In which to do your beautiful work. But since you don't I am hoping that you do what real quilters do and keep on, keepin' on doing beautiful work inspiring that beautiful Amanda to create beauty as well. Who needs a make over sewing room when they make quilts as beautiful as yours. Lois B

I wanted to participate I need a sewing space so bad my apt is just over 400 sq feet, but you had to belong to facebook TQS is all I have time for.

Oh well - if any of our SoTTTs did enter - don't be afraid to post it (ignore all of our negative comments!) I'd love to vote for you!

(I probably would have been more willing to enter if the other 2500 was from a sewing cabinet maker - Home Depot means do it your self and since my room is awful the whole "doing it myself" thing didn't work!)

I'm with you ladies! I went to the sight just to check out what everyone sent in. The quallity of quite a few of the pictures was so poor that I couldn't vote for them. Some sent in photo's of themselves and/or pets. I thought we were supposed to send pix of our quilting room/space? Also, there were multiples of some? I did find 2 worth voting for . Both were unfinished rooms, one in a basement and the other an unfinished room in the back of a house. I find it difficult to believe that Bernina is conducting a contest in this way. I'm so happy I never posted my picture. I don't have enough friends who would b willing to vote that often. You're right. It is nothing more than a popularity contest. What a shame.

I bailed,too !!
