Wow! I woke up to such nice feedback to read :-) You all made my day.. thanks so much. This quilt was so very simple I really didn't think anyone would bother to comment - I am smiling ear-to-ear .. thank you again for your feedback!! I agree the "simple, tried & true" patterns are great! I am working on a more complex quilt but it's taking *forever* .. it's nice to take a break and work on something simple.
