Loved what you wrote! Loved the beautiful quilt! Loved the kids...with their wonderful smiles, and howeled when I read your comment about being sick of the red HST after 600 of them. I am just about to start a big project with so many HST and I already feel your pain!!
(After a few days you will only see the beauty of your great quilt, so take a bit of a rest before you rush off to stare at another 600!)
