It great that we are all having such a wonderful time..
With regards to adding the rows..I love the idea of the small strip in between....but for me it will be a preference..in case some don't like that.....but now I hope that I have enough of the backgroup fabric to be able to finish... :-)

great job.

Bill if you bought metres instead of yards, you should be ok. Those strips are pretty narrow and you only have nine more rows to go! :)

Janie,
I decided to try to do this quilt entirely from my stash..and I just a 2 yard piece for the backing..and now I figure if I'm adding extra rows...I am hoping I have enough - unless of course the calculations also include some of the backing for a border..in which case I can always do a different border...and that will save me :-)......
I can't wait til next week to get the April directions!!!!!!
When The May instructions come out I'll be away on vacation..won't get to those til the middle of May - what will I do :-)

JanieW

Oh Bill , I know how you're feeling. I will be at my Grandkids when April comes out. I'll be able to see it, but I won't be able to sew!! Then I will be in Paris when May comes out. Poor me. Ha ha.

We'll survive , but it's the curiosity of what the rows will be for the next couple of months that will kill me.

Thank you Suzie.. I am now finished the snowflakes! I was having trouble with that pattern! I will post the three months once I get the last background strip cut and sewn the Shamrocks to the Hearts!

I wonder what the colors will be for the month of April! and what the design will be... hmmm it is Spring .. April showers... bring May flowers.. never know!

I have not sewn the Hearts and Shamrocks together as well,, but was thinking of using the same strip as between the Snowflakes and Hearts.. I think it would look nice all the down the rows. :)
