Look forward to seeing the completed result. Also, I have just loved all the dresses you've made! I just gave you a wee award over on my blog...if you're interested (blush) Beautiful work there – that quilt is a huge undertaking. Look forward to seeing the completed result.

I wish I had been there to help, after all the help you gave me! (I was at my volunteer shift at the Bot. Garden library, cataloguing children's books -- basting is way more satisfying!) I cannot wait to see it finished. WOW. 950! I wish I had been there to help, after all the help you gave me! (I was at my volunteer shift at the Bot.

There is so much work involved but the results are often well worth the effort. Good luck with your project and I look forward to seeing how you make out with it. Quilting is almost a lost art.
