Date: 8/3/12 2:39 PM I am making a thank you gift for a friend. It's another lap size quilt. I may just SITD on this one and keep it simple. I'll decide once I am ready to quilt it.
Here it is in EQ7:

Here are the four rows sewn together. I changed some of them around from the diagram.

I have the sashing, border and binding fabric on it's way. It will be a sage woven micro plaid that is one of the fabrics in the quilt. I'm not sure what I'll use on the back. I think I'll visit that local shop to see what I can find since that will be the least inexpensive route compared to ordering online. -- Edited on 8/3/12 2:40 PM -- ------ ~Diana~

Date: 8/3/12 10:23 PM I think so too. I was going to use other fabrics for the sashing and border but while playing around with the fabrics, this combination was it! :) ------ ~Diana~
