Rita, I also did not know that you could search the quilt gallery that way. What other dozens (hundreds?) of bells and whistles are there on the website that I still haven't discovered? I think we need to get the TQS jet to fly us all to a tropical island for a users conference! Think a week would be long enough???

Connie I just realized you are only about 45 minutes from me. I live in Trinity just south of High Point.

Robyn, don't unpick it! When I looked at your quilt, my first instinct was to put a thin solid border around it, then create another border with blocks in white and shades of grey, the same size as the spools, that mimick the spool design but extend the quilt outward. If this does not make sense to you, but you are interested, let me know and I'll try to draw it up for you to see. I would try a primary color, like red, for the thin solid border and perhaps the binding too. Now, wouldn't that look modern?

Hmmmmm...........I like the sound of that

- it would give it a modern look and no unpicking! and the right quilting design could make a difference too

- I'll play around with that idea and let you know what happens - Thanks Renata!

So I was having a look at the Show and Tell entries in various categories and noticed that there are only two - yes that's right only TWO (2) quilts on the Wot RoTT show and tell page. Is this possible? I know that I have seen at least four (4) posted on this thread. I mean, there were at least 82 people involved in this exchange or was it 126 Rosemary? Where are you all.... where are your quilts? WIPs? Anything, anybody? I am looking for a little company on this lonesome journey of completing the applique for this quilt. So wassup?

Well..................here's what I've come up with so far but I'm not happy with it

I started by making spools and didn't like them - so then I just put all the blocks together with white but I think it's a bit BORING!! and small too. So I'll do some unpicking (soon I hope). I really like the modern look so I'm thinking if I do a bit of unpicking to make random size blocks (maybe some 3x3, some 4x4, some single, etc) and put some grey in between (??) We'll see how it looks.............. Actually maybe I'll start that today as it's Easter Monday so I don't have to go to work (yay)

I'm just am not sure I will use her figures , shapes etc. May do something else.... It's a good thing that I check my math !! Those borders wouldn't fit !!

Yes, we had a 'glitch' with the book, but I am managing to get it back together with the pictures side of things again. However Romira, who was entering up the recipes is having a bit of a busy time with 'life' getting in the way, so if anyone else wants to offer to help it would be appreciated. I won't be 'closing' the editing of the book until I get my quilt finished, and it is behind my Caught Red Handed quilt, which I want to finish & enter for this year's Great Northern Quilt Show which is held at the end of August.
