I have been into some of my other fabrics, cutting new strings for lights, but I'll be able to keep going for a good long while on the darks before I have to get into yardage.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916037128698165349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34416842.post-66727656526546287152007-01-29T12:22:00.000-08:002007-01-29T12:22:00.000-08:00Hey Lisa, try turning some of your darker strings ...Hey Lisa, try turning some of your darker strings over and use the wrong side for your lights. I did this years ago for a log cabin and it worked beautifully. I learned this years and years ago from reading one of Roberta Horton's first books. I love her statement, "Remember, you paid for the back of the fabric as well as the front." No one can tell unless they look REALLY closely, and then what difference does it make if they do? It'll just create a little mystery to go with the quilt - "I wonder why she did that?"Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34416842.post-75799184785076932342007-01-28T14:52:00.000-08:002007-01-28T14:52:00.000-08:00Don't worry, Mary!

I'm just not very good at sitting still - once I decide to do something I really need to get going on it, that's all. I look forward to any tops that come my way!<br />LLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916037128698165349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34416842.post-32305876513263024852007-01-28T14:45:00.000-08:002007-01-28T14:45:00.000-08:00Lisa, I love these blocks. The lights and darks lo...Lisa, I love these blocks. The lights and darks look wonderful together.<br /><br />Don't give up on the quilting part yet - we're just getting started and so far I've only had to use 3 of the 11 quilters on my list. I'm sure as we go along I'm going to be begging for you all to quilt tops. In the meantime, I've been piecing my own blocks too as well as sending some in to Sue.Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801947879882584734noreply@blogger.com
