    Here is the finished quilt for a fund raiser for a friend's son. It is made of only two blocks: nine-patch and shoo fly. Not that my timing was too close, but I finished it at 2:46 am on the day of the fundraiser. It was still warm from the dryer (I have to wash all quilts because of my feline quality control department) when I dropped it off at 9am that day!! When will I ever learn???

    I like it -

    Thank you for including the names of the two blocks you used - I'm familiar with both of them and really had to look to figure them out.

    Nothing like a deadline to get things finished!

    I, too, have a feline quality assurance inspector.

    Luvvv it!! I'd buy it!! What a nice thing to do.

    REally like the shoo fly blocks. Very easy to do and they always show so well.

    REALLY REALLY COOL! Love it! Thanks for posting it because it would work GREAT for SIGNATURE QUILTs that I volunteered to make!

    You solved my 'what am I going to make' problem!

    Nice quilt. Should raise a lot of money. Love your colors and placement. Would have looked a long time to figure out the blocks!

    I am always amazed at how well some blocks play together. I personally like the secondary star pattern that pops out. It sure does look a lot harder that it actually was to make.

    Thank you for the kind words!!

    The quilt is not only beautiful, but I think you chose the right colors for the right time of the year since the 4th of July is close. I would hope that would make it sell even faster and for more. I would certainly snatch that quilt up in a second; I love it.
