Also wishing you a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

I had to look up Judy Mathieson on line to see what her technique was but it appears I would have to purchase one of her books or patterns in order to answer your question. I just used the paper piecing patterns from the 2007 Fons & Porter magazine. (I think it was March-April). Thanks for the compliments & the good wishes!!

I wish you the best with the surgery.

I wish I had the time & skill to hand quilt it but I know my limitations & my hands wouldn't work with me on trying to attempt that. I'll be quilting it with a machine on a quilting table. It will take me long enough to hand sew the binding on the back when I get to that point. :D :D
