Your wonderful dogwood petals will shine shine shine (love Madrona Road!). I just bought a slew of solids at a quilt show--they had them all laid out like candy, so how could I resist, but normally, I'm like you--it's a just-in-time sort of purchase around here.<br /><br />Elizabeth E.<br />opquilt.comOPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467284107498414652.post-18163191220656804602013-08-29T14:49:03.773-07:002013-08-29T14:49:03.773-07:00I really love your petals!

(No one is surprised. Like you, I have to buy solids when I oh-my-gosh need them.) Could you sash in a white with black dots, if you use the print? Like one of those new Riley Blake le Creme dots? I'd use Comma but we all know I have a problem at this point. :)<br /><br />I love the idea of using Madrona Road for this project! Your petals look nice and smooth. Well done so far!Laura C @ littleandlotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133246614230906389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467284107498414652.post-18683001830001860702013-08-28T17:47:49.186-07:002013-08-28T17:47:49.186-07:00Very pretty!
