Such a nice way to label your quilts. You are to be applauded for a job well done. The quilts are beautiful and they will be treasured for sure.
Nice family. God bless.

Not at all...go ahead and copy. Don't know if you could see it, but before I attached the pictures on the back, I put a small binging on it to make it look like a picture frame, then I hand sewed it using a blind stitch.

Thank you - the pinwheel strips on the top and bottom were done using the leftovers from making the flying geese. Nothing went to waste.

Thank you - I just had to reply to you because I noticed your Avatar shows two beagles. I also have two beagles...Barnum and Bailey. We adopted them 1 1/2 years ago and they were named Hamsteak and Sausage. We changed their names because, well being of the Jewish faith, we didn't think those names would go over big if we had our Rabbi visiting.....lol.
