    Yep that's the pattern, although got mine for free from the quiltmaker magizine, course it's an old issue!

    And it took me on and off about a year to complete.

    You are sooo close! I shoped at the yarn shop there. Is she still open? Anytime you want to get together and quilt please let me know, I'd love a quilt friend who's closer!!!! We're on Pinehill Lake.

    It has not been washed yet and most of it is lying on the floor. I think I've made up my mind to rip it all out. Probably will do it this winter, when it's cool enough to be under a quilt. I know if I don't I'll never be happy with it.

    Okay I've finally gotten it torn apart and will now wash the backing and quilt top hopefully most of the holes will work themselves out. As soon as my new screen comes for my pro-sticher on my long arm I will start anew. Wish me luck, if it doesn't come out correct this time the quilt will be toast!

    We are all sending you good thoughts! Be very careful washing the top, though. I would just give it a good steam pressing and use lots of spray starch. If you do decide to wash it, zig zag or serge the edges first.
