How fun! To get to meet each other and spend some time quilting together must have been really enjoyable. I like the cheater tops for practicing on the long arm. You still get to practice on "blocks" but haven't invested as much time and energy into it. I gave the "practice quilts" to charity and they were thrilled to get them even though I was a bit iffy about having cheated. I guess that just goes to show that what we worry about is sometimes just a little thing to people with bigger problems.
