    I just received the ok from Patrice for this posting. It refers to Just Jan who started chemo last week. Since many of you on this thread know Jan, I wanted to post this here. Any help you can give will be appreciated. And if what you would have is slightly more narrow than the 42", that would be ok, too. Thanks for looking at this posting.

    My Wonky -almost discarded - mystery quilt: This is my first train ride mystery and I have to say that first of all, I love the pattern - Thank you Judy! But I am not so happy with my fabric choices, at least compared to many of the others that have been posted. The gold that at first looked pretty good with my print now looks like mustard and the red (ketchup?) seemed too bold and over powering. But the real issue is that I had this "brilliant" idea to make it a two sided quilt and put a cross on the back as it had already been designated for a prayer quilt to be given away to someone in need. What was I thinking??? When I quilted it, the front and back got off-kilter so that the border on the back is all wonky and uneven. Into the UFO/throw pile it went until I realized that everyone's life has some uneven twists and turns and it is just a reminder of our need for prayer at those times.

    Judy, I can put one together (hopefully not a wonky one) and get it to you in the near future.

    Carol I don't see a Wonk this way or that way, just a very nice looking quilt. Job well done.

    Here it is finally. I have finished the other two blocks needed, count off made four. I think a thin red zinger (all the red I have left), then a green 2", (since I have plenty) then will follow with the light fabric for outer border with the green as binding. Will get this done this weekend, at least assembled and quilted with binding attached, then the hand work may take me a few months. LOL I do like the floating instead of my red on the corners. Was looking to heavy. With my goof on the hst pieces, this looks nice just as well.
