    I bought this quilt kit about 4 or 5 years ago during the MN Shop Hop. Goodness, but that Shop Hop business has cost me $$$. Such good deals and fun fabrics! Anyway...I have been working on this for a long time now and finally got it done! My fabric on the back is directional and I didn't have enough, but I had some of the picture blocks yardage that I very carefully lined up and used as a "header" on the top! This is also the first quilt that I have done a pantograph ( I think that is what it is called) by myself. Do you know how touchy tensions can be? Or how long it takes to rip out a whole bobbin of thread? Just ask me how I know!!! Not only once, but about 3 times! Now it is done and I love it!

    This is really a beautiful quilt. I like your pieced blocks on the back, also.

    Your quilt is beautiful and you did a great job on the quilting. I can't imagine ripping out that many stitches!
