Y'all be sure to check the older thread on this quilt. I have just been perusing it, now I'm going to actually read it. meanmom's and whitepine's quilts are stunning! I am sure there are more, those are the ones I saw this morning. One light and one dark, totally separate approaches to backgrounds, but beautiful. It makes me really want to use a single background color. One said 7 1/2 yards of background. That's doable. Of course, I'd probably buy about 10 just to be safe! There is a back to be done also.
What a perfect way to get over the hustle and bustle of Chrismas. Start in a project.
