    Yes .... did my tri-sets and then sewed together from there. Yes, a lot fo fabric ... yet it's so rewarding as to how fast I made a quilt top!!! (even though it takes me a long time to finish with the quilting and then the photo op!!!). Thank you Dear Friend for piquing my interest in this area, though I may get too too side tracked at times!

    hahahaha!!!! Have I got you fooled!!!!!!!
    Patient I am not ... though stubborn I am!

    It actually wasn't that hard ... strip piecing and some shots of Best Press and away to the races!
    And the best part is that it was FUN!!!


    OKSGlad ... now that you've got me, hook, line and sinker, you can now go to work on JeanieG!!!
