    Default Thanks for your help, its done in time for Christmas!

    I was able to go to Jo-Ann (not where I bought it in the first place) and find the same green fabric so I was able to use that as the border. My friend helped me with the quilting as I knew I'd never be able to do it myself, at least not in time, and neither of us could let it be tied.

    I used my Quilt Wizard software to create the pattern... added the border so it would drop off the sides of the bed. I'd be happy to send you the file, if I can figure out how, just PM me, probably won't get to it til after Christmas though, as I'm only taking the Ipad and not the laptop with me to Mom and Dad's.

    the fabrics were all from Hancock Fabrics, except, as I said the green from Jo-Ann, the binding from Jo-Ann, and I have to admit, the back is a 600 count black sheet from KMart clearance rack!

    You were lucky the quilting angels were at JoAnn's and you were able to get the same green color. Green is often hard to match...And a special friend. Nice job.
