It is truly gorgeous.
Thank you. I put butterflies in a couple of spots. One covers the hole, the other is to make you think it was done on purpose. This whole quilt has just been one thing after another. This morning I got it so all that's left is some minor hand-sewing of the binding down on the back. It looks so much neater to me to hand stitch it down. It actually doesn't look too bad. The last yd of binding is a milk chocolate color to the rich dark color I'd started with, but I'm not going to say a thing! It's nearly done & I'm just going to be happy to wave good-bye to it! LOL!! Maybe it's given me enough trouble that the baby quilts (4 of them) will go smoothly. :-)
