Do I hear a whistle yet? Maybe it'll come if I leave to get some coffee with a thimbleful of Baileys in it?

Ok, train riders, here we go, getting ready to board the train and start our new trip. Click on this link, and like Dorothy clicking her heels together, we will be there in an instant.

Thank goodness for kids who are better at computers than me. I'm finally trying to post my version of this quilt. The stars are an old Thimbleberries print with more of a cream/gold cast than what shows in the pics. I'm definitely going to make more of these!! Thank you Judy!

Laura - I really like how yours turned out! I did a solid border also, just not the same as my sashing, and then added piano key border around that. Haven't decided if I'm going to do another continuous border or not. If I can find a suitable print I might.

Looks great Laura.

Thanks Mom-6 and Deb. I've always been a beige/cream background kind of girl and am trying now to use more color for backgrounds. I think I'm going to use red for the sashing and white or gold stars in the next one. I have a nice red piece I bought in Colorado at Harriet Hargrave's store 12 YEARS ago!! I remember the time frame because it was when DS#1 had just gotten his learner's permit and wanted to practice driving in the mountains! Yikes, what a trip!

Wow, hadn't thought about all that until I typed red fabric, lol. Maybe it's time for bed. :-)

Nice, Laura. Glad the scrappies are still coming.

Augh! I didn't do this Stash Buster Mystery, but love the look of it. Could anyone be kind enough to list the post #s of the clues? Sure hope so...wow...it's a lot of pages to go through! Thanks! :-)

It only took a couple of months (and the arrival of Spring Break), but here's my top.

Now I'll have to go check out the other thread!

Loved seeing all the pictures of finished tops! Thank for sharing, everyone!
