    Gorgeous! I would be hard pressed to choose one I like best, as they are both lovely. I think your wavy edges are perfect. I would also love to hear more about your fracture technique.

    These are wonderful. I guess I'm going to have to look up how to do these. Yours are gorgeous.

Sewed all but a small section around the edges and then turned it inside out to get a non-binding look. On the Sunflower Quilt I used bias binding to add contrast and highlight the sunflower. How do you think they look? [ATTACH=CONFIG]294351[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]294352[/ATTACH]

    Both are stunning! From the photos, I don't see that one method yields significantly better results than the other. If I were you, I'd choose whichever method is easier for you.
