Thank you for yours and everyone's kind words. I would definitely advise you to go ahead with your Sunshine Rose Garden quilt it really was not that difficult and is so rewarding. If I mignt offer a little tip that I found helpful. I blocked each of the blocks prior to assembling the quilt. I have a piece of strofoam on which I drew out the finished size of the block, pinned the block extensively, sprayed with spray starch and allowed it to dry completely. If you are using red and white, please be sure to wash the red first. I did, but I know I have a bleader yet. I have not yet washed the finished quilt, but I know I will have to take extra care when I do. Thank you again to so many for your kind words.

Beautiful job!!
