I have had a reply back from Yvonne and she is thrilled with your response and had no idea she would get this wonderful reaction.

She tells me she is going to makeit into a quilt but for the wall.

That will make one gorgeous wall hanging Elle! I was hoping that was what she was going to do with it.

I'm looking forward to you doing it too. I've not been a big fan of "crazy quilts", but those are so pretty! I'm not sure I have the skill set to do all that by hand though. I know I can't do it like she does!

Patti you don´t necessarily have to do it by hand you have a brilliant machine with great fancy stitches and you can use those.

Try contacting a dressmaker in your area, who doesn't quilt. Often there are lots of pieces left over that are great for quilting but not the right shapes to be useable for clothing.

You could try a curtain shop, they oftenhave offcuts.
