I'm going to be starting a quilt along in September for this and it's something I've always wanted to do. Your quilt is exactly what I had in my head! It's just gorgeous! What did you do about the quilting? I'd love to see any updates.mfaireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066617268080632084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370653771155572902.post-2299009330096055152015-01-29T22:31:18.266-06:002015-01-29T22:31:18.266-06:00Hi.

I was so impressed with the tiny size of your blocks and how precisely they are built. Lots of starch helps! It looks like a library of quilt blocks like an index of what is possible and beautiful. Yours will be a treasure when it is completed and is a wonder now as a gorgeous top.
