2007-08 RCTQ BOM top put together!

My daughter, Gray Soufflé (the QI,) and I worked together and decided
on this layout for my 2007-2008 BOM quilt. One of the extra appliquéd
blocks, for which I inadvertently printed the pattern for the flowers
too small, will become the label for the back.

It gets put away for a while so that I can think about the quilting,
and can go visit my mom in NC. I figure I still have six months
before Christmas, right?

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Enjoyed seeing Gray too. I was sitting
here saying "Ohhhhhhh..".. and "ohhhhhhh" and Yogi came over and put himself
belly-up beside me. He naturally thought that I was admiring him and
thought I might like to rub his belly. Everything is about him. Polly

WAIT!
STOP!
HOLD IT!
I LOVE it on point!
Just look at pix # 2 to see what I'm talking about.
It gives the whole quilt so much more 'movement' for lack of better
terminology--(I'm still fighting 'car/jet lag')

Now, I'll go read the rest of the comments

Wonderful Carole. Perfect setting for all of those lovely blocks! I am sure
you never would have managed it without your 2 helpers! lol. Enjoy your
visit with your mum.

Yeah, yeah - I KNOW...but I'd already made all the sashings and
cornerstones and had figured out the math to make it the right size so
I took the easy way out and decided NOT to put it on point. I agree
that it would've been striking, but it's not gonna' happen on this
quilt! It is sewn together and it will stay that way.

Thanks, everyone (even Butterfly with the great idea of setting it on
point! ) for your nice comments.

Now I'm puzzling over how to quilt what is basically a sampler quilt
with some pieced blocks and some blocks with pretty large appliqué. It
is NOT going to a long-armer, 'cause I can't afford it. I'm fairly
comfortable with free-motion, even on a big quilt, but it's WHERE to
put WHAT KIND of motifs, whether or not to quilt over the appliqué
(some of which is large enough to need it, I think) and pesky little
matters like that!
