    Hey Candy.....don't forget to post picture....I'm always in awe of your projects. Guess what, I'm leaving Monday for a six day quilt retreat in Warren PA - can't wait!

    That is so beautiful and a great way to use a family heirloom or just a great yard sale find every day. Thanks so much for sharing.

    You can use poly fill but make a hole in the middle of it and fill with crushed walnut shells.
