This pattern came together so very quickly once the HSTs were uniform size. Without a bother the points just seemed to match up perfectly. I will say, this was also a wonderful pattern for seams nesting to give some guidance when sewing. By pressing the seams always to the print, each I sewed a seam the pieces just melted together and the points were nice and crisp.
On the back I'll use a Kona Corn Yellow. I haven't worked out how I'll bind it yet, but that will come while I'm quilting away.
Any suggestions on how to quilt it? I could do diagonal straight lines easily, but I'm starting to feel like that's a cop-out. Concentric semi circles?

Oh pretty! Quilting ideas don't come to me before the school run though.
Looks fantastic! I think something that continues with the motion created by the piecing for the quilting will be great :)
How about diamonds.....

Very sweet and I like the pattern. No idea about adventurous quilting though! Di x
This looks so cool in the pezzy prints - straight line quilting would be great!
Yay! It looks fantastic! I really like the quilting I did when I used that same pattern, and it was really pretty easy too - http://kelbysews.blogspot.co.uk/p/tutorials.html - it's the cathederal windows quilting tutorial.
But whatever you choose it will be gorgeous!
Cindy I love it, the colours and the pattern are great.
It looks wonderful, Cindy! Trimming HSTs is such a pain, but I always love the resulting quilts! I admit that I am a big fan of straight line quilting, but if you want to avoid doing just diagonals, maybe you could choose an hourglass and echo it? Oh, and I love corn yellow...great choice!!
It's so pretty! How about quilting Baptist Fans?
This is wonderful, I keep looking at this layout for the hsts. I think your idea of concentric circles or a huge spiral would be good for the quilting but the other ideas here are also good.
Love it. I would quilt it with some curves.
Oh it's gorgeous Cindy! I never advise on quilting but looks like you ahve some great suggestions.
It looks great, and I think the circle quilting will look great with al the straight lines in the top
wow, this turned out absolutely beautiful!!!! great job!
Oh wow cinders thats lovely! Circly quilting of some kind defo.
I'd be tempted to do ovals echoing those in the pezzy prints but quite a bit bigger!
Looks absolutely fab! I would go with some kind of curvy quilting for definite, not sure what though!
It's looking great Cindy,
Ooo looks amazing Cindy! Not sure about the quilting, you could do little circles, one the size of each block? I'm not good enough to attempt that one though!
circles with a walking foot really are easy. This quilt would look great with some circles. Well done
I know I know....trimming HST's but yes it is worth all the hassle I the end. Looks amazing. See I would do the diagonal but maybe that is just boring me....
I love Pezzies! This is so fresh and happy and colorful. I would quilt it with a giant spiral, or two or three.
