Very pretty. The fresh cottons is a very pretty selection for this quilt. I am not sure which fabrics I would add though. So far the farmer and I are having a happy relationship... of course I have only done the easy blocks so far, LOL!<br /><a href="http://thespunkydiva.net/" rel="nofollow">~ Kimberlee at The Spunky Diva </a>Kimberlee, The Spunky Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153973608759489844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364168489318422331.post-33210845891022503592011-07-27T16:04:34.939-04:002011-07-27T16:04:34.939-04:00I don't know if your following Lori Holt at Be...I don't know if your following Lori Holt at Bee In My Bonnet - she is amazing!!!<br />She is giving many tutorials on cutting many blocks and sewing rather than templates!<br /><br />I commented before that I am also using Fresh Cottons (still waiting for my fat quarter bundle to arrive!!!
