Welcome, Heather. Laurie from Oregon, here...but wish I were there. LOVE the Olympics! Your quilts are great. The zipper quilt is very eye-catching. I was wondering if you couldn't have stip pieced the "zipper" portion? Would seem much faster than all those small pieces.
I just joined this board in Jan. and it is AMAZING the wealth of information I have garnered from it. I love it. I also joined the Quilting Bee Swap, and that is really fun..already have swapped 6 blocks. Enjoy.
