fleurdelisquilts, actually, I have ben quilting only since the end of 2000 but:
1. I am retired.
2. I am disabled and can't do much else.
3. My DGKs live across the continent from us.
However, I have 2 UFOs that will probably be done on Monday.
Oma66, I have made 4 quilts of that basic plan. The first 3 were twin sized. I had to redesign the one for K, my DSil, as she asked for that pattern but lap sized. I did these with templates, beginning in the old fashioned way, with a piece of paper to represent 1/4 of the central medallion, folding fan-like, then drawing, labeling and cutting.
