    I so agree. And I know if I was your friend that I would count myself so blessed to be able to snuggle under this quilt.

    Your quilt is beautiful! I love making scrap quilts - it is so much fun to look at it when it is done and see all the previous quilts that I have made. The lady who did all my quilts for a few years said she always enjoyed the scrappy ones when they came through because she would remember the quilts she had done originally.

    I love this book - I purchased it after picking it up and putting it down several times. I hate to pay full price for any book, but this was an exception. I am so glad I bought it.

    I have made several quilts from it and have a boat-load of squares cut and ready to go at a moments notice. When I finish making a quilt, I immediately cut my scraps into squares and put them aside.

    I have almost finished the "rick rack nines" quilt in the book - I found the material I want for the final border, back and binding - now to get the money together to buy it - hoping to find it at the local big-box quilt store and use a coupon.

    Your Irish Chain turned out beautiful. I'm working on one as well. I love her L&E book.

    She recently had a sale of some scratch and dent L&E books, but I just missed out... I'm going to break down and buy it, because I really want to get on my Irish chain started soon, I should have some charms coming in the mail this month from a swap.
