Thanks for looking at it and trying to figure out what to do with it though. That was very sweet of you.

Here is her site to check out some of her quilts ... She lives very near my son and daughter in law.

This one is in the "storybrook farms" multi-block quit.

okey, dokey ... so, now we know that Omak does not read all the words, just looks at pictures! and, even if she reads the words after looking at the pictures, she may or may not remember what was written long enough to go back and peruse the whole thing. but, aside from that little flaw in her observation skills, Omak thinks that Red still provided her own solution ... or <g> you could do a bunkhouse braid, using all the colors in the quilt, though you really did want a simple border ... hmmm... just trying to help you here ... how about taking all of the color scraps longer than eight inches and creating a single brick border around the whole thing? Or! You could do prairie points <g> .... LOL ... I love it when a plan comes together! <wave>
OH! And, I looked at that website ... I just want to say: I am glad it is her and you and not me! I am so happy that God created those exuberant souls who just must go beyond a four patch and really celebrate God's green earth. HOO RAH! Continue on ... <g>
