That is unique! I've never thought about doing that. But, it is sure pretty and a conversation piece for sure.

You always still could. Craftsy.com does kind of a rolling open enrollment. It isn't like quilt university where it has a set time frame.

I plan to make three more, and hang all four together- but first, I have to make my Mom a twin size quilt for her guest room.

This is my second craftsy class. I also did Pictorial Quilting with Wendy Butler Berns- that was a cool class too. Which class are you taking?
