thanks guys! i am not a pink person either, nor butterfly girlie sorta stuff. im more kim diehl country scrappy chunky woodsy stuff. this really did go together fast, way faster than i thought. she'll like it. thanks much for the compliments; those 2 blocks on my wall have been there for so long they are just part of the background now. i have a 3rd almost done and 3 more and the border to go. i decided to finish with perle cotton and a hand blanket stitch so its taking a while!
