Here I thought black binding might be the worst but I believe you trumped that.<BR/><BR/>LOL, said the girl that has help with most of the binding anyway. <BR/>I'll have to keep that in mind when I select backing fabric. <BR/><BR/>Mystery quilt huh? I love the fabric selection. I could probably come up with the fabrics from my stash. One look at the 1 1/2 inch strips she spoke of kind of scares me off. I think a couple of the previous ones had those itty bitty pieces as well and I pass on anything smaller than a 2 inch strip if I can help it, LOL.<BR/><BR/>Think I'll wait to see what it is first and decide then if I want to admire everyone else's version of make less, bigger blocks.

I felt I definitely should have cut it on the bias to make those checks look spiffy! YOURS looks really nice even if it gave you visual difficulty! 8-))Elaine Adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664504842156046995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-65557619462507608132008-12-27T20:41:00.000-05:002008-12-27T20:41:00.000-05:00Love the name of your blog.Love the name of your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-81737638232090266052008-12-27T18:56:00.000-05:002008-12-27T18:56:00.000-05:00I can see how one might get a little sea sick work...I can see how one might get a little sea sick working with those two fabrics too long. I once had a liney psychodelic (can't spell that) that practically gave me headaches when I looked at it. And the eye was pulled to it too! I don't know how I used it all up!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.com
