Barnbum:
I have this pattern waiting to be made up. Yours is gorgeous!! The quilter is RIGHT! It is a keeper. Even tho you said it was the hardest you've made don't you feel a real sense of accomplishment when you look at it and see how beautiful it is? Kinda like having a baby...as soon as you look at that new baby you forget the pain and agony associated with the making of this wonderful, new creation. I find my quilting projects somewhere close to the same.
Thanks for sharing.
