ooooh, more lovely centres, I think your idea of collecting all these centres together, Gai, is a great one. I might try that myself.
Sandpat, I can now report that I have my label done (well, all but turning the hems under) I have a small query, 'cos I was checking the original pages. Is there a reason that the first border is 3ins, then it jumps to 5in, and follows on adding an extra inch for each round? I was just asking, as the idea I have for Ninnie's centre would be easier as a 4in one, rather than a 3in.

This is an easy pattern, it is called Square Dance. It looks better when there are more contrasting fabrics, but I figure you girls will bring out the best in it! :)
Attached is my son's quilt.

Thanks for sharing a pic of your son's quilt. It's really nice. He must really enjoy it.

I have one label finished :D Nothing fancy, and It isn't hemmed . I might want to add to it when it gets back home next year. I did sew 1/4 in in all the way around to keep it from fraying.

Lacelady, The burglers took his quilt, his christmas stocking that his grandma made him before he was born and all his fire gear. He is a fireman and had to replace all the gear. We think they took the quilt just to haul the heavy stuff, but could never figure out why they took his christmas stocking. Some things can just never be replaced.
