    The soft roundish lines of quilting soften the points and lines of this pattern. Wonderful quilt.

    Even my husband liked this one. Usually he does not comment. I loved how the quilting was done. The different blocks were great.

    I didn't get back to answer questions because my daughter ended up in the emergency room this morning with kidney stones.

    The quilt was a pattern that was blocks of the month. Each month you did one 12" block, one 8" block, and two 4" blocks. I didn't care for the assembly of the pattern but I intended to use these blocks since I had gone to all the trouble of making them. That was why I put the blocks in the borders.

    When I started mixing some of these colors I thought it would not work but I just kept pulling more colors and then tied it together with the brown and green borders.

    I did do the quilting too. I have a longarm and tried some custom quilting on this quilt because I was to the point that I hated it. I decided that if I messed it up, nothing would be lost. It did turn out better than I thought it would. Now I can move on to something more fun.

    Thanks for all of the compliments. I just love looking at other projects on this site.
