    As you know I love this quilt so much I am making one too! Such a marvellous use for 1.5" scrap squares.

    And another of my favorite quilts!
    When you first started making these blocks I was a little perplexed - I just couldn't visualize the final quilt. Now I just always trust you, because I know whatever you make is going to make me smile!

    So many of your quilts have that nod to the antique quilts that I love. Such a great quilt. So many possibilities with this pattern!

    Oh, I'm so glad you put this one in the Bloggers Festival. It's worth another round of applause. I love the way you reprise vintage quilts. Your subtle changes update them beautifully.

    Lovely to see this one again. I still love the yellow sashing.

    I'm so glad you put this in, because I had missed the finish. It looks fabulous, and could a backing be more perfect?
