Kelly, I just LOVE your quilt!! It is so darling. The color placement is perfect...don't be hard on yourself...you are so talented! What a neat quilt design too.

I stitched the binding down one day while I was out to the park with my boys, enjoying the last of the good weather. There was something so satisfying about being able to sit there happily stitching in the sunshine, I'm glad to have that memory (it may sound foolish, but I really had a great time that day).

Everyone is so far ahead of me!! I have an idea, and a little fabric starting to gather together. Good thing I have a few weeks to get it done. Hope my partner doesn't think I forgot...just busy. I researched her profile and I think she'll like what I have in mind...if I can just get it going!! :-) All these quilts so far are just wonderful....we certainly do have a very talented and inspired group here!!! Bravo!!! (Clapping Hands)
