I have a TON of Paula's fabrics, took a class with Deb Tilley, one of her protégés who is allowed to teach her method. I keep wanting to make another (I've made 3 of the intricate ones, one of which hangs in our front entryway). I love the effect you've created with the fabric; you truly let it do the work, and it shines.

Every time I look at this quilt I think of different things it reminds me of; really interesting and stimulating. I love your quilting too - concentric diamonds were a great idea. I hope your book process gets moving again soon, though I guess this is just the way the whole thing works.

I must say that your first choice was a gorgeous, but somewhat intricate, one. You were showing some ambition! lol<br />I understand what you mean by being surprised when the fabric arrives home. Even when I go to a fabric store, sometimes what I saw under their artificial light is different when I get home...<br />I like this quilting in a diamond shape. It offers some variety while being as simple as quilting straight lines with the walking foot. I'll keep it in mind. :-)<br />I was wondering about your book the other day. I'm glad to hear that it's normal I heard nothing about it.
