Oh Rose, that is beautiful and I wish I was like you and finished before starting another! I see a block that I haven't made and I have to try it. :oops: My goal this year is to finish at least 2 of my UFOs.

Wait... a valance is a curtain??
Over here a valance is like a skirt that covers the legs of the bed (it goes over the base under the mattress and has frilly bits that hang down just touching the floor).
It wasn't till the end of the thread that I realised I was thinking of something different to what you were talking about, but thank you anyway! LOL You've given me a marvelous idea. :-)

Dust ruffle! LOL That sounds hilarious.
I'm making a quilt for our bed, and have been wondering about where I'll be able to get a valance / dust ruffle to compliment it. It never occurred to me to make one! LOL

Then you would love the Japanese students I had. I told one we were going to eat Tacos and she looked HORRIFIED and said no way she was not eating Taco. I pulled out the conversion book and found I had just told her we were going to eat squid!!!!! LOL

We had an American exchange student many years ago, she went for a nap to get over the jet lag and we told her we would wake her for tea. She went to sleep wondering if she would really have to get up to drink a cup of tea. Over here, we call "dinner" tea. ;-)
