Thank you all for the warm welcomes and comments on my 'first'. I guess, as any quilter is, that I am my own worse critic because I guess that I just know I'll do better the next time, and so on.
Some of you asked to see the "work in progress" one that I'm doing and I am not at a point where it can be shown. Sorry. I am in the middle of piecing it and have gotten to a point where I need someone to show me how and where to continue. The melons and the other parts just don't seem to want to play nicely together.
I promise you all that when I get to a point that any of it would be recognizable, I will post it here ( assuming that I don't forget how to do that).
Once again, thank you for your comments.
Bob
