The corners on the cover are peeling and curled. It would only cost a few $ more to buy a new book at Joanns with 50% coupon. Anne
Better to pay the $ before you lose any pages!

I am impressed with the layouts and colors used. Struggling to get it sewn together. On the corner diagonal row, but life keeps getting in the way. If it is not one thing, its three more via for monies and attention. Hoping & praying for solutions. Have finished making about five dozen jars of jams.

This is my final layout. I have it all pinned and ready to quilt the sashing and corner blocks. I haven't decided how to quilt the border yet, so will think on that as I go.

Beautiful, GrannyQ. What a wonderful work all well done with purples.
yes, I make jellies every year from left over freezer berries so I can freeze this year's berries. Also included the cherries from our orchard, the apricots from our orchard and last year's strawberries and thornless boyenberries. Two dozen jars for daughter & family; Texas friends get their share, too. And I keep some on hand to use here. I add two tablepoons of strawberry jello to the strawberries that makes a nice rich red color to the jelly.

Thank you ladies, I have had a great time doing this quilt with everyone. At least it is going to get finished. I have 2 other quilts that need to be quilted, but they were put aside so I could do this. Hope to see some more finished tops from everyone.
