I loved strip piecing this quilt, it went together fast..can't say the same about quilting it though, although I did enjoy using the variegated thread for quilting for the first time. It is a surprise, she has no clue that I am making a quilt for her, and she is coming over this year for Christmas, I can't wait for her to get it.

Thanks for looking all, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
