Congratulations in the first degree from one who regularly puts "a quilt" in the local county fair--and usually get a ribbon, but not a blue and best of show combined; but I did this year....I know the feeling of that great big smile on your face, and your's was for more than one.
I love the black and white with the 9-patch squares in each corner. Would you PM me a picture of it, please. I think I can work it out in my mind on how to do it, and I promise not to copy yours--just use your general idea. I think you called it LimeRSquare or something like that???? Love love love it.
