I think Hope Valley is one of my favorite lines of fabric. Ever. That link that Jenny posted in the first comment is pretty amazing. I just adore this line. I did my Single Girl quilt.

Maybe a scrappy border??<br />I found a coin quilt I loved on a blog called My Quilt Infatuation. Sorry, I don't know how to add the link, but I promise it's worth the search. The quilt is called Coins on the Sidewalk. I think the Hope Valley fabrics would suit that pattern. <br />I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your scrappy trip :)kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599423210557614839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-85536525367023732912013-06-02T15:15:44.488-07:002013-06-02T15:15:44.488-07:00I LOVE the last quilt- can't wait to hear more...I LOVE the last quilt- can't wait to hear more about it!Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975197209323508355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-79855015716988736312013-06-02T15:08:41.580-07:002013-06-02T15:08:41.580-07:00I LOVE the last quilt- can't wait to hear more...I LOVE the last quilt- can't wait to hear more about it!Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975197209323508355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-64352842083887757702013-06-01T04:57:18.368-07:002013-06-01T04:57:18.368-07:00Keep forgetting to ask what is the best quilting b...Keep forgetting to ask what is the best quilting book for a complete beginner??

Here's one that I'm crazy about -- when I saw this quilt I decided I had to collect the line, even though I had just started quilting and you could no longer find it all in one place. I think I have bits and pieces from ten or more vendors (and don't tell but I just bought a little more from Pink Castle last week, I can't stop). Anyway: http://www.flickr.com/photos/13226087@N06/5461652999/in/photostream/<br /><br />Question: Do you prewash your Essex linen before sewing it to unwashed quilting cottons? <br /><br />P.S. I hadn't seen that Scrappy Trip with the thick borders, but I love it. That gets my vote.Tennjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397113148008290316noreply@blogger.com
