:wink: Thanks ever so much girls. Your very sweet to say all those wonderful things about the quilt top. Hubby keeps coming up stairs to see if I have finished it ....LOL! He has no clue that it will take a while to quilt it after I buy the batting.
You girls are right though about him bragging to the guys about it. He went out to run errands this morning and has told a few of his buddies about it, even his barber. Ha ha ha ha hahaha ha ... Who Knew? Gee I think he might be a little easier on me now when I buy fabric and such. I should have thought of this sooner!
Dodie .. A big special thanks for the pattern and the fabric. Even though I didn't use the fabric. I had everything but the grey. I will have to make something else to use up the things you sent. Gift bags?? Pillows?? Who knows. Anyway you are a dear to have sent it to me. Thanks so much. :D I was really stumped as to how to set this to show off those animals. And a compliment coming from a teacher is music to my ears.

Thanks girls,
I am going to work on finishing up the top tomorrow. Then it will be a shopping trip to buy the batting.
I am looking forward to finishing it too. I bumped this one up from others I have waiting on me. :D

I have been thinking about it this afternoon. I am gong to just finish it up with a five and a half inch border with the blue as cornerstones (per hubby's request). This will make it finish at 66 and a quarter inch square. A little big for a wall hanging, but I have a space to put it. Now I am going to have to think about the quilting designs where and what I want and how it will relate to the qult as a whole.
I have a feeling this one should take me some time to finish...
