[quote=mpeters1200]I was a complete silly person and posted my first finished quilt for 2010 in it's own thread. It really should have been here. You can find the story for it by following this link. I'll still post pics here.

I really like your quilt. I enjoyed your explanation of designing a new block and layout. I, too, prefer patterns and instructions. I know a lot of my quilting friends say they never make the pattern exactly the same as the instructions, but not me... I even love quilt kits for the fact that they have all the fabric picked out!
I guess we're peas in a pod, and it takes all of us to make the quilty world go round!
Loved your notes about your family. Quite an accomplishment, especially that they have done so well out in the world.
