Thank you. It's a Quilt in a Day Pattern and it was kind of hard. If you look close you can see that my blocks don't line up well- it's all the angles. but i have done a few quilts since then, so i hope that my next one is better. I fell in live with the border fabric and went from there. it's the back also.

my cats could be on a different floor and as soon as i put a quilt on the floor to baste or photograph-there they are! it's like it's calling them! glad to have their approval and all of you are very complimentary. thanks.

I could find the other fabrics in that line, but not the right color. ( I had purchased the fabric months earlier). i finally pieced the center of the snowball block and continued. this quilt is disappointing because i had to piece tha backing too and piecing is off. Ive decided to keep it for myself as i love the fabric and the quilting. I would like to make another TW quilt to see if my piecing is better now.

Have you seen quilts in magazines and noticed the seams don't match? I have. The important thing is it is finished and you can enjoy it. :)
