Patty,
Couldn't reply sooner; our internet service was down most of yesterday, didn't come back on til sometime today.
Thank you for your compliment. I hope you are having as much fun making it as I did. This was my first quilt to machine applique, and also first to machine quilt. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, so much fun to make and anticipate the giving.
Good luck, be sure to post yours when finished. Can't wait to see it.
Julie
