I finished the quilt top... YEAH... I tried to get a good picture but the wind is blowing too hard... after the third time the quilt stand fell on my head I gave up. If it is pretty out tomorrow I will try again to get a picture otherwise it is off to the quilters as soon as I can get it there.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I end up using red corner stones because I once again was short of the black Kona fabric ( I had taken it from another project and I need to have enough to finish that project. ) I will hand applique the motifs when I come back from the quilters. I will also do some emboidery in gold metallic thread to give it a polished look.

It took 40 hours of real actual sewing and unsewing time to finish the quilt. I kept a log during the entire process.

Hopefully no one but me and the internet will know that I goofed.

Thanks for all the input

LadyRags OFFLINE Posts: 1571 Thank you received: 43	The final decision I THINK is Red block that I am attaching then sending the quilt to the quilters... I will hand applique motifs when it gets back and also do gold thread emboidery. I am never sure of my decisions until after they are quilted... and the binding is on... but I have been known to dicker with things even then. Anna

snowplow3840 OFFLINE Posts: 611	I guess I am the odd ball in the crowd (so what else is new) but I like #3 to me it looks like it was planned from the beginning and not a solution to a problem. Ann

Quiltlovr1 OFFLINE Posts: 55	Hi Anna, Beautiful quilt! I like your block #1, the black with applique. Sometimes when we run out of fabric, it forces us to be a bit more creative:) Let us know what you decide. Good Luck! Sandy in Phoenix
