I have just completed the top of my quilt. I love, love, love it. I am making it for my granddaughter and just finished making the label this afternoon. I had no trouble sewing the blocks together. Just follow the instructions. This was my first attempt at hand appliqué. I found that I really enjoy it. I used embroidery on the windows as suggested in the instructions. Tomorrow, I plan to make my quilt sandwich. I want to try to quilt it myself the way it is quilted in the pictures. Wish me luck, as FMQ is a real challenge for me. I was excited to learn that others are making this quilt.
