It's from French Braid Quilts by Jane Hardy Miller. It looks intimidating but it's actually very very easy! I have another one halfway done in southwest colors in bali hand-dyed fabrics. Warning though: these quilts are addictive, you cannot make just one :mrgreen: The only thing that made me nervous was cutting the pointies off of the sides but I took 'em to my favorite quilt shop and the nice ladies helped me since they have those huge long cutting tables.

Yeah, just give another bottle of Crown, give him a couple of drinks, and then inform him you can finish his quilt if he takes care of the house (cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, etc.)!! :wink:

Thats too funny...I have my DH's quilt sitting in a chair and I keep side tracking to ohhhh soooo many other things. Mine keeps asking about the progress on his too :roll: You'd think I had already "given" it to him and he actually had some say in when he gets to play with it......!!! :lol: :lol:

I can't wait to get your IRR center btw...that is one more thing that will get in the way of finishing DH's quilt :wink:

lol...I can't even finish half a beer let alone a mixed drink! I just don't like alcohol. Give me Dr. Pepper or a good pot of coffee and I'm happy.

oh Gail! did you see the new General Foods International coffee flavor for the holidays? Peppermint Mocha! I put a note up on my office door for the Crown Royal bags and got at least 50 or 60 from other employees, then I got the other 200 bags off of ebay. I ordered a special bag directly from Crown Royal for the quilt label.

YUM, babeegirl !! I love peppermint anything and I love mocha anything, so the two flavors together must be to die for. Some mornings (or evenings, for that matter) I pour myself a cup of java and drop in an envelope of hot cocoa mix. Whir it up, and it's delicious mocha. I'll have to drop in a couple drops of peppermint oil next time. I'll be on the lookout for the GFI coffees. Thanks. :lol:
