This! I think the background color of the florals matches better. The sunny yellow is so nice, but it's brighter looking in the picture than the top and overpowers it a little.

I never thought of taping it down!!! 🤯

I agree on the sashing. Then each CH fabric would have more of a chance to stand on its own and be seen as an individual rather than a collective. Sashing same color as the background stripes in the squares.

I like the middle one with the light border best. I love the center medallion it creates and the red-orange pops of flame that star in the darker middle border.

I cut my scraps down to sizes I can easily use like 2.5" squares and 5" squares. It gets me handling fabric and eases me into the flow, and makes my room more organized in the process.

You bet, try it. I'm in 2 guilds -- one is younger and one is older. The older average age guild is actually more active and has better projects and programming than the younger!

It looks like it wants to be a bag or pouch to me 😁

Thank you! There were many steps and much potash to set the colors. Not sure I'll do it again but I'm glad I did it once.

Pieced the quilt back from scraps, cut the batting to size... and lost steam for the pin basting. There's always next weekend.

A finished quilt top. Wash Your Paws pattern by Woollypetals. Just need to piece a back and get it basted so I can quilt it up. A gift for a friend ❤️ #quiltsky
