Thank you all so much. When I did the purple one I had no idea how much material to buy so I went to Joann's over and over and over again. Then I knew nothing about strip quilting and cut out 2 inch blocks and sewed them one at a time. lol took me forEVER. I did not machine quilt the purple or the sampler. I did applique and quilt the ducks. Again thanks so much for the compliments. I have seen so many wonderful things on this site I can't wait to do them all.
