    Thank you so much. Everyone who has seen it agrees with that border. I have on on the guest room bed now and trying to decide if I want to add a scalloped border. Part of the problem is that I'm not sure I have enough fabric left but I always buy extra. Will have to decide and do some good measuring and accurate math as it may just work. I have enough of the angels but not sure about the green poinsettia which sold out after I bought it. I feel it's fine as is but the scalloped border really does add and finish off a throw. It's a nice sized throw as you can see; it's on a queen sized bed.

    That is exquisite, definitely heirloom quality and definitely worthy of a first prize in any show! You must all be so proud!

    It would be fun to see the other quilts in your group's round robin. Do they fit together as a set, or are they all very different? Any chance of getting photos for us?
    Thank you Lisa. They are all very different but beautiful in their own way. I don't have any photos of the others and wish I did. Photos were taken to be put up on our group website but so far that hasn't happened. Since I was behind my quilt, I wasn't behind the camera for once.
    Hugs

    For now, I'm not. If I notice one of our 2 kids or grandchildren bonding with one, I'll put their name on the back. Normally I make quilts specifically for one of them and they get it immediately but have decided that once I get my last grandchild quilt finished - in the next 2 months, the quilts I'm making will stay with me for awhile at least. I'd like to have some here for when the kids visit. Each grandchild came home in a grammy quilt and soon all 7 will have a twin quilt especially made for them. Now whatever I have time to make is extra and once I'm gone, the kids can divide them up if my husband will allow. He loves my quilts and gets upset because I tend to give them away as soon as they are completed. I recently made one just for him and I know he'll treasure it as he wore out his other one. Once I accomplish 11 quilts I'll try and figure out who will get what so that each one will get one more for sure. If they get to use them or see something in use during a visit, the quilted item will be more of a treasure than if they never see or use it. My oldest grandaughter has already let me know which one is her favorite and she doesn't know about my decision but one day, her name will be on it and she'll see that probably next summer when she comes.

    Thank you Sharon. Hopefully one day you'll get to participate in a round robin. If you're in a guild, ask 4 other people to partipate in one with you. They are so much fun.
