Thanks to all of you for your nice comments. As a newbie, any comments, criticism or advice would be very welcome! The pattern did come out of Kim Brackett's Scrap Basket Sensations book (it's the last pattern in the book.) I really like the way the red pops out at you. The top is 63"x52". It was not difficult and although I am a slow sewer, it didn't take too long, since it is sewn in strips. My daughter said that she knew this was one I wouldn't give away. Thanks again for the encouraging words!
