    Love it! And i love your border. I was looking for a border design for my scrappy quilt and I think that i have found what I am looking for. I want a border similar to yours. Now to look through my magazines and see what i have that will work.
    What an awesome quilt. Kudos for sticking with it! You should be proud!

    Thank you very much for your generous comments... I am blushing!

    I guess I became determined after many months of not knowing what to do l
    Most of all, I hated to leave it unfinished and having to say "I can't"... that's why it took me so long! No plans, not even sewing rows one at a time, it went in all directions, leaving it for months at a time, going back to it for a few weeks, but boy, did I learn a lot...

    I beleive in .... when there's a will, there's a way... call me stubborn also, it's ok! loll

    I think your first quilt is absolutely gorgeous! It's hard to believe it is your first, and judging from the results, won't be your last.
