I have been quietly watching your posts of each painted shoe waiting with baited breath to see the completed top. I myself am not a shoe gal but this is just too neat so even a non-shoe-aholic such as myself can truly appreciate the artistry, talent and creativity that went into this quilt. If I recall correctly you are making this for a friend who loves shoes? Please, please, please let us know how she squeals with delight when you present it!
