Hi Sharon,
Thanks...I feel so good now that I have caught up - then after it was done I was afraid that perhaps the leafs were a bit too large..but they are only about 3/4" larger than the stars...but I decided to leave as is..I think that it will all work :-)...Aterall, it is a sample :-)
This is a fun project and I can't wait to get the top all done so that I can add borders or whatever and get it quilted and finished...
By the way, I have been keeping a couple of the number of pieces in this...so far I am at 711......and there's a lot more to go.. :-)
Bill
