    Wow that is an amazing quilt. Can I ask where you found the pattern for the oak tree. I do a lot of quilts for raffels and this would be an amazing quilt to do if you don't mind. Jade

    Raffle quilts are always a big hit. We do them here and they look for them every year at the same place.

    What a worthy cause....makes me proud to be able to be a part of it.

    I found it after writing to you and the copy I have has "The Quilting Quarterly" on the bottom of the pages......and on the top of the page, it read National Quilting Day.

    It was titled...
    "Let's tie one on...FOR THE TROOPS!

    I really can't remember whether it was in a magazine because I
    don't recognize "the Quilting Quarterly"......or whether I got it off the internet.

    If you can't find it, let me know.......and I will go and make a copy for you and send it out.
