It turned out so nice that they urged her to enter in the AQS show in Paducah this year. She did, it was accepted to the show in the bed quilts: group catagory and it won 1st prize in that catagory! If you'd like to see it, here is the link: http://www.americanquilter.com/shows...lt_winners.php
Thanks for the site - I'm an AQS member, and they have quilting books for an amazing sale price, and with the membership # you save even more. I order 6 books which only cost me $49.13, including shipping! Now I'm going to go back and look at the winning quilts!
