    You did a wonderful job and the colours and pattern are well-chosen and classic. This is such a lovely story of friendship and love. Thank you for sharing it.

    Someone also asked how many 1/2 square triangles were in the quilt and 1200 seems to ring a bell

    I used a collection of fabric from Connecting Threads called Shimmering Frost - there wasn't a big selection when I went to get extra fabrics for the pillowcases and I ordered the 108 inches used for backing. I didn't use the CT fabric but found a great Robert Kaufman at $ 2.49 a yard in the flat fold section - in Anaheim at M & L's.


    Thanks for all the compliments!
    THANK YOU for sharing your gorgeous quilt with us! I just ordered the book from Amazon.
    I think yours is even more breath taking than the one in the book!

    Very lovely. A very thoughtful gift, certainly they won't get two of these. Ha!
