I want to thank you all for taking the time to give me your considered opinions here. Billi you made me LOL! Geri B. you won the day with your advice to make a couple more blocks and try out the D9P! Such a simple suggestion, why didn't I think of that?
So that is just what I did, and I loved the results. Making comfort quilts is never work for me. I love the whole process and want each one to be the best it can be.
So here is the finished top photo and I'm on to layering and quilting.
Hugs and smiles of thanks to all you wonderful quilters!!!
