    I have watched as you showed us your progress. Now, like others, I am blown away by your finished quilt. I do not know how you did it! It is soooooo beautiful.

I started out hand sewing the strips onto the quilt but had to switch to machine sewing them on to make up for lost time. I actually like the look of them both.

    Learned a lot while working on this larger quilt that will make the two smaller ones go easier as well. I am going to have just as much fun making them.

    Well the auction is tomorrow so I will let you know how it goes. I have heard rumors that it will probably not leave the church. There are several who want to go in together to buy it to have it hang in a classroom in the new part of the church. Everyone is really excited about it. I hope it does well.

    I hope you all have enjoyed watching this come together. I certainly have. The lead lines really changed the look. Thank you for stopping by today.

    Blessings & Happy Quilting
    I have never in my life seen anything so gorgeous!
