Billi, I love how the top turned out. It's very pretty with blue. And it's not my pattern... I got the inspiration from Eleanor Burns and I'm sure she saw it before, too. Glad you enjoyed it. How are you going to quilt it?
And people! Please don't obsess over using coordinated fabrics for your 9Ps! The checkerboard fabric will "coordinate" them enough. It's fun just to go wild. Don't cut your coordinated fabric lines for this. Use your leftovers and scraps! It works... trust me!
