Dear G.............it was a piece of cake :lol: :lol: :lol:
But the quilting was a real challenge! There are 100 blocks I made the same motiv on and I would say from block 60 onwards it looks rather good.........and I feel prepared for my dresden where the quilting will be much more visible.

It is a german poet and therefore a german poem. I could try to translate it for you but it looses so much by doing so. Ringelnatz is famous for his funny poems.

Nothing like a hand-quilted quilt. Lovely!

I have used sheets in the past and found that cheaper sheets, lower thread count were better than the nicer ones.
