The happy part of these is that she was thrilled with it. I walked away from that thing many many times, One time I even threw it in the trash, LOL
That is a lovely quilt and good for you, sticking to it and getting it done. I know the feeling, one time I was working on a top and the blocks just looked awful and wanted to throw it under a Mack truck, but I continued and when the borders got on it I liked it. Jan
