Great rescue! I've bought several quilt kits and either didn't understand the directions ( shouldn't they have people make one according to the directions before they sell them?) or I didn't have enough fabric and the fabric ends up in another quilt.

I'm a perennial optimist though, and I just ordered the beautiful BOM offered a few days ago at http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-99135-1.htm

Hopefully, this will be the one I finish!

The pattern itself is so Disconnected and boring really. Your's is intertwined and blended beautifully

Had to go look. That is stunning! I assume it is also very expensive. BOM usually is. Good luck to you! Let us know how it goes!

& me tooo!! I think I get bored and try to make it more interesting.... I like yours alot better! very nice.. Tell DH "we live and we learn, and now you know" of course if your like me you might have to be reminded of the lesson occasionally.

What is a BOM?

We sometimes need an inspiration to spring from- this pattern was your starting point and you did not slavishly follow.
