Mirabelle - that quilt for you daughter is gorgeous! I love the subdued colors, so different! I think your quilter should be informed that you are not happy with the job she did. I find it hard to confront people, so it would be hard for me to do, but you paid her to do a job, and it is not what you wanted.
dublb - glad to hear that your grandma is doing better, I can't believe how early they get someone out of bed that had hip surgery, especially some at age 93! Did they do a hip replacement?
QNS - great looking blocks! That 50/40 block is almost like one of the blocks I did for the Celtic Solstice Mystery - except ours had another four patch in the middle. Those Tennessee Waltz blocks are going to make a beautiful quilt!
