Thanks - and yes - there is ALWAYS room for more friends. This gal that I am doing it for was my former neighbor in Virginia for 20 years. She was always there for me when I needed it.

and no - so sorry it will be awhile. This month is "friend" month from VA. The former neighbor and her hubby were here for a week, another friend and her hubby were here for 2 days and two gals I taught with in VA arrive tomorrow morning for a week of Boston, Cape Cod and Newport RI. So I will be off line for a while and out of the sewing room. :-(

The white fabric consists of 1.5 inch sqares, folded diagonally, and stitched across the corner of each block. When the blocks are joined together, they leave a little place to put in another fabric and stitch down, just like the larger one. Hope this makes sense
Thanks and it does. I think I now know what I am going to do. I will post it when I get it completed. BTW your placemat is beautiful - is the quilting all freemotion or hand?
