Thank You for letting all of us know that even if the manufacturers mess up the kit a good quilter can make lemonade out of lemons.

SO glad hubby likes it. My hubby picked one out a few weeks ago and he said it's the best one I made. Not.....He is so bad. He chose one that I machine quilted and had longarmed. I think he likes the tightness of the quilt and still soft . He keeps his by his recliner, his blood thinners keep him cold, and he makes use of it. Tickles me.

I like to buy kits from connecting thread when they are on sale at 40% or 50%, but no less than. I figure I get the fabrics on sale and a free pattern. If I don't follow the pattern that's okay too.
Oh and I like your pattern very much.

I don't like kits, leaves no margin for error at all. You are lucky if it all works out. They are pretty pricy and if you are not a prefect quilter, you might have to start all over. I can make most anything work, but not the kits.
Yours turned out prettier than the orig. pattern, sometimes we have to do our own thing, that is for sure.
