Eddie, I'm making my first quilt but after this one is finished I was thinking about making an applique quilt. I'm taking a class starting July 7th. Where did you find the pattern for this quilt? It's lovely and your colors are great. I love it! I'm new to quilting and don't know diddly about anything, YET!. But, I'm an adventurous kinda gal and I'll try anything. LOL. I'm currently making a hand stitched paper piece hexagon quilt and my first few blocks are a little shadey looking. I was going to take them apart and redo them but since the quilt will only go to family one day, I hope, I thought why not just add those little problems to my journal as to what NOT to do the next time and keep going. It will be interesting chat one day when I'm older and grayer, lol....and hopefully, have some grandchildren to share my tales with. Thanks for sharing.......Babs
