small world! I, too, am making that pattern. :-) We're using it as a Decorate-Your-Block at my mom's 80th birthday party next week, in place of a guest book. I am in the midst of ironing freezer paper to each block to help stabilize the squares for signing.
You've done a beautiful job with the patchwork, and I love the colors you've chose. I look forward to seeing how it finishes. I'll post mine too, when I get to that stage. will give the finished quilt to my mom for Christmas.
