Yellow is becoming one of my favorite colors to add to almost all my quilts, especially scrappies! Nice job

Marvelous quilt! You were so right in the fabrics that you chose; each block is enhanced and surrounded. Thank you for sharing.

I took it completely apart and squared up the blocks, and reworked the whole quilt adding the yellow and changing the whole thing around to what you see now.

I don't hink that I would have done this but the handwork really deserved what I did to it. I have a china dutch doll that I will dress to match and it will make a special gift to the next mom I owe a shower gift to. At least I hope so ... it still needs the quilting. But I like it.

Very nice! I love bluework....Janet
