I made the Lover's Knot quilt for a wedding gift for my son and his fiancé. She wanted a duvet cover instead of a quilt, so I said OK. Then one month before the wedding, she called it off - she was not getting that quilt, so it got renamed Lovers Not. I later finished it, and since no one in the family wanted it because of bad karma, I donated it to my church for their raffle quilt at their holiday fair. It brought in over $1800 or a little more, so a lover's not quilt became a good raffle quilt that went for a good cause. Sorry I digress, it's not hard, but you do have to have a sample block, at least I did, so that I could keep the block going the right way. Just take your time and it will come together. The colors are absolutely beautiful and it will be a gorgeous quilt when it's finished.

I bought EB's pattern book over a year ago and have read through it several times. Still don't understand it enough to begin it! Another "one of these days" project! Your quilt will be beautiful, hang in there.

Okay, my brain is now warped for sure, but with additional help from my son, I have all the pieces in the right places. Now I just need to sew them together without getting them mixed up.

Here are all the pieces up on my design wall. It IS going to look quite good.
