    Turned out to be a bit busy for my taste too!

    Maybe not close to the pattern. But very pretty. Now you still have the pattern to try! I also like yours better! :-D

    well I like the colors too and I like YOUR pattern better. I am always afraid that I will love the quilt in a kit so much and I won't have enough fabric and I can't find the fabric anymore to suppliment it. At least you took the situation and not only met it but exceeded it!!!!! You are a creative person for sure!

    Well, I learned a valuable lesson. Before I buy a kit again I will open it before I leave the store to make sure what I have. And I doubt I will order one online for that reason. Thank goodness I have a mind that never sleeps!
