I am so excited! Several months ago I made my hubby a Boy Scout quilt that was shown in Quilters World. I decided to order the kit, rather than try to get each piece of fabric on my own, in case I could not find them all. It was so easy and a lot of fun to do. The fabric in the kit was pretty and plenty of it. I sent a picture of the quilt to the Quilters World and forgot about it. In this months edition, can you imagine my surprize when there on page 7 was the picture and an article. Hubby has been active in BSA for 68 years and has made a difference in a lot of young mens lives.

Congratulations, that is wonderful! I bought some of that fabric on a shop hop, but not the pattern. I will have to get the magazine and check out the picture.
