Thanks Ninnie and Patti - but where oh where has our little Gai gone? Don't know about butterflies on the fabric, I think some of them have flown into my stomach! :shock: :lol:

Kathyrn, we all get nervous, but I'm willing to just bet that Gai will love it! Don't worry...go get a spoonful of those ketchup beans... ;) and settle down.

Oh my Kathryn...when you posted I thought "Oh my quilt!!! - it's beautiful...i think it should stop right there and go on the wall" - ha...then remembered I just worked on it...it's Gai's!! LOL

You did a fantastic job with the border, it's really perfect for it!! Good job - I know Gai is going to love it!!

WOW!!! What a perfect match for Esq's fabric! (Thank you Terri! :P ) It looks like the butterflies are being attracted to the flowers. And I'm with you Esq, my first thought was "Wow, let's just stop now and make it a wall-hanging, it's framed so perfectly!"

But not really! I can't wait to see what's going to be added next!

I can't believe that you actually unsewed and resewed it. Silly girl! But it is absolutely perfect! Bisous, Bisous, Bisous!!

Phew! Glad you like it! I've kept looking at it all day and thinking 'well I like it!'

I had issues with that skinny inner border - in the end I cut strips 7/8" instead of 3/4" - that extra 1/8" made all the difference! Patti, I hope you have no trouble with the outer one - the left toe of my foot is 3/8" wide so I just line that up with the previous stitching mine and that keeps it straight! Trouble is, if you wobble when it's so skinny it really shows! Sure I don't have to tell YOU though - shall I just go teach my granny to suck eggs? :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol: Kathyrn...I had to read your post a couple of times..I was thinking...well maybe I need to go measure my toes! Then...well, right foot or left foot :roll: :wink: Silly girl....I know what you mean. I'm not the best straight line sewer..nor curved line for that matter!

My bigger problem right now is...what in the world am I gonna follow that beauty with?????
