I'm positive Helga will be very happy with your wonderful gift of love. Helga will appreciate every stitch you put into her quilt because she will know it was gone with love, by you. Giving of yourself is the best gift you can ever give to anyone you love... :-D

Absolutely beautiful!!
Helga will be absolutely overwhelmed with it's beauty on both the front and the back!


Please help me understand the Watercolour Technique ....

You cut up little squares ... are they all form the same floral print?
And then when you sew them back together, do you just sew them randomly? or do you choose which one goes where, to get a colour flow?

Or am I out to lunch on the general concept?

I'd appreciate it if someone would help set me clear on this!!!

(and yes, yes, I know I could google, or use the search function on this Board, but puhleeeeeeeeeease?)
