it's always so nice to see your work but especially good of you to share tidbits of what you've learned along the way. i never knew that poly batting was cooler for summer quilts. i would automatically have thought cotton was cooler.
nice, too, to see you stretching yourself. i don't think i've ever seen your work done with stencils before. have you ever done it before? you should be giving classes, not taking them.
i know i don't have to say wonderful things about the quilting itself. that's already been said by everyone, so just ditto. (i love c - d cup, btw)
