    This is one of the BOM's from Rachel's Garden Quilt. I bought them all last year and decided it's time to work on them. I finally figured out the steam-a-seam 2 with help from the board members and a friend.

    It's pretty expensive for the 12 blocks. I'm already started on the poinsettia. Can't wait until all 12 are done. Now that I know how to use the steam a seam I need a lot more of it. My friend has a box of it but can't find it right now. LOL

    It's a quilt will be 54 X 76.5. Each block is 13.5 x 15' without a border. I'm putting a border on each one when I get more done. You can just add wider sashing and side borders to make a double, , king or queen. If you only want to do 3 it would make a nice table runner.

    Thanks, glad you like it.
