    Ooh, pretty colors, very springy! Looks like you are well on your way. Backing fabric also very pretty.

    as you sew them together you will find the quil shrinks very quickly...I found when making rag quilts I use way more fabric. You quilt is looking great!

    I noticed that so I added two more rows to the quilt to make up how much it shrinking. Can't wait to finish it tomorrow.
