It really can go on forever. <br />So, a couple of years ago, after spending time with Gwen Marston, I decided to stop the madness. Now I lay them out, and in the process, I try not to put similar blocks right next to each other. Then I step back and look at it, and if there's something which is abviously wrong or out of balance, I try to fix it, but I don't spend a lot of time, and I don't let others get into being very nit picky about my block placements. If they have a suggestion, I'm glad to listen, but I'd rather just leave them more or less where they happened to "fall," than spend a lot of time moving them around. Just a choice I've made for myself, and so far I've been perfectly happy with the way the quilts have turned out.Charlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654576015036728600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-4780491387823793462015-03-31T08:03:13.807-05:002015-03-31T08:03:13.807-05:00Beautiful stars Wanda!

I bought EQ7 software, mainly use it for the same thing you use your book for... figuring out what size things will be and what it looks like with different widths of borders and sashings, etc. Mind you, a person could play all day on it and never actually make the quilt!<br />Elsie Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739927333538419518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-58678972753251236372015-03-30T13:38:12.443-05:002015-03-30T13:38:12.443-05:00Wanda, Why nor unstitch the center seam of the fiv...Wanda, Why nor unstitch the center seam of the five blocks you have left and use them as your setting triangles....... <br />Cari Jimison<br />Yuba City, cAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-89778297118545955762015-03-30T11:55:56.949-05:002015-03-30T11:55:56.949-05:00Love those stars !

Now I think I should pick it up. Definitely in the future :) I'm looking forward to perusing the ones I bought. I would share the titles but it's late and I don't want to wake my husband.
