    I figured with all of grandmothers or as it seems to turning out great- grandmothers stuff to finish I had better figure out what I was doing LOL. Absolutly no pressure here :shock:
    This is completly hand sewn- except for the outer borders I didnt know how to use a machine until recently- about 6 months now- and I finally finished putting the borders on a couple months ago

    I had absolutely NO CLUE what I was doing LOL- I started the block field in Jan of 2003- it took me at least 2 or 3 yrs I dont remember after I learned to use my sewing machine the outer border were less overbearing but i still had to hand mitre.

    Lovely work, I love the little splashes of plaid in the blocks.
