Jan: congratulations on making such a beautiful quilt and with such a difficult pattern. I know--I tried it!! I only made 4 blocks thinking it would make a nice wall hanging. I had it on my design wall for three days trying different borders. After 3 days I noticed a HUGE mistake!! I had turned 2 HST blocks in 2different blocks and the whole design is off. I can't believe you did 12!! I'm impressed and your grandma is just going to love it--quilts speak any language but especially love.
As for my effort, it's rolled up in a ball and tossed to the back of the closet with other UFOs.
Great job!!
