Outstanding! Don't you just love being able to use the 'F' word?!!  That's just gorgeous; I don't even want to think about how many hours went into it. Really, really nice. |

Thanks for you nice comments ladies. It is queen sized It took me 60 hours just to piece the the nine patches and after that was a breeze I had the rest of the pieceing done over a 2 week period just sewing a couple nights a week after work. Quilting only took 6 hours my fastest yet. - I was tired tho' when I had finished. Trying my hand at some foundation piecing now Jinny Beyer Crystal Star. Skye |
