In every quilt there are millions of decisions to be made, this is a new pick of two more possiblities the first 3 comments are on the old pic , thanks.... so many people see my quilts and go on and on about how someone can handsew that many but most think the colors and choices just come naturally to me like magic or something and that is the hard part to come up with a ideal and then pick and chose what is going to go into it , I audition fabrics for days and days then just sit and breath with them until something speaks to me, I think this background which is a black is winning right now , I liked the greenish one but it just wasnt as dramantic as this one ,that is why I have such a large stash I cant walk into a quilt shop and decided anything , I hope that this discussion will help the newbies to see a little of the process they might encounter with making their own quilts, Thanks a million time over for every comment , it does help alot Linda
