    I just finished your's tonight and will mail on Monday to you. I like it a lot so hope you will too, but just saying if you don't send it on back and I'll gladly make another one. Having a hard time sending them on their little ways this month, I like both of them so much......I have to quit keeping some and making another just because I like it. My daughter in laws think it's pretty great though and grand daughters, they come home and know what drawers to look in for what I've made since they were last here. All of a sudden...they're gone. That's okay, gives me some more things to do and new ideas to practice on.

    I might suck at making dogs have never tried to sketch one before. I have this vision of what to make now to make it happen is another story. Cognito I am all with rainbow cows. I adore cows. As a kid I used to tell my mom when I grew up and was rich I would buy her a cow. Everyone laughed at me. Like no jewelry, or fancy things nope I wanted to gift cows to everyone. So for years I received cows from my family as a joke. mugs, ornaments sigh.. lots of cows for Brat The funny thing was I always loved the rust ones not the black and white .. guess no one thought of that.

    My swap partners are always guinea pigs LOL these swaps are a fantastic way to try out new techniques or patterns you might want to use as on a bigger quilt

    That's so true Lynnie...I ended up doing a very small version of a traditional block I've always wanted to make into a bed quilt.
