We did get a piece of the pattern at each of 10 shops. Had to blow a lot ot the pieces up. We could have bought the fabric too which I chose not to do but next time I think I will buy it. Our next hop is August 1-3. Since I'm no longer in classes I either have to go alone or take the bus for $70. It will take 2 days to hit all the shops either way.
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. Don't know what I'm gonna make next time but may be a baby or wedding quilt for my neice. I'd like to try the wedding ring or the dresden plate soon.
