As previously mentioned, Bogie and I have been working (long distance) on getting the design for her quilt more-or-less "set". We are making progress. Similarly to the way I proceeded with Dudette's quilt, I have started to experiment with trial blocks. Below is the first trial block. It is very probably not what Bogie's blocks will look like, but it is a start toward her being able to make required decisions.
Through the magic of the Paint app, below is how four of the above blocks assembled together would look.
Not only does the one block's look differ from the way Bogie's final design will probably look, the assembly of four blocks is misleading, at least in regards to where I think Bogie wants to go. Not all of her rosettes will be made from the same medallion. Her rosettes won't follow the assembly used by the designer, but there will be at least three or four different medallions used in her rosettes - unless Bogie changes her mind, that is. Always her option.
As a reminder, here is how the designer's version of the quilt would look.

Bogie and I have a breakthrough. She has made a final choice on fabrics and layout, leaving only the borders up for grabs. Borders, I leave until the quilt top is nearly completely pieced together. Somehow, the looks can change too much to consider making those decisions too early.
That is really beautiful.

Ingineer--Happy that you find the design pleasing. Bogie and I are even happier with the "final" design, which graphic I added after you left your comment.

The scary part is of the choices CC gave me, both of us agreed upon the center square color and the final design layout as the best ;)

Bogie--As I think I told you, it would never have occurred to me to dump the Alchemy Blue sashing in favor of the two different Flash Dancer colors (Blue & Turquoise). I'm really glad that it occurred to you. Then, when I saw how well the two Flash Dancers went together, it occurred to me to follow the designer's lead and make the Chevron layout of the sashing.
Yes, it's scary when you and I agree so much. But...it's always been that way with your dad and me. Anytime we really agreed on something, we knew it was right! (Besides, you're old enough to have started turning into your mother by now - about the age at which I started making the transition to being my mother. That is truly scary!)

Nothing but admiration for quilters!
