I made one with pathways and appliqued some vines and flowers around the border. My newly married granddaughter chose it from all the other quilts I had on hand. Now I'm making one like PARROTHEAD'S grandmother made, with the small green diamonds between. It is going to be beautiful! When I began the first one I planned on it taking a couple of years. It was done in a matter of months. Maybe if you just put it away for a while it will be fun to work on again. It is beautiful!!
