Adrianlee-That would be nice to make a portrait quilt of your granduncle. Yes I did match my top fabric with my thread.
Dusty-That quilt of your nephew is awesome. Good job. And I love the stallion that you did too.
conblond2005-I have taken many classes from them. I really like it because you can work at your own pace, and if you don't get it done when the class ends then you can finish when you have time. I have taken from machine quilting to EQ5 classes, to a beading class, machine applique. Oh that is just to name a few. It is exactly the way that Dusty described. Sounds like you are busy Connie. Good luck getting all those quilts done.
