    It was on the back burner for a good time,it's a king size and all the material came from your lovely country when my Sister was visiting California and her family

    I just love it !!! My first quilt was a sampler, quilt as you go. It is a good learning quilt. Also, welcome to the board,it is fun to have fellow quilters from across the the pond. Donna
