Maude - Your quilt looks great. Solids are cool.
SBG - I totally understand about the traffic!!! I hate driving through LA anymore. Both my sisters live in Southern CA and I'm at the point that I don't like to drive through the traffic. Holidays are the worse. It took me over 7 hrs on a trip that should have taken 3 1/2. Glad you made is safe, and praying for those involved in that horrible accident.
Whigrose: Love, love, love your 9Ps. The brightness and color is fantastic. Hope I get to play with a few of your blocks.
