    It has a label that just says "RP 2018", but that was already on there in February, in a corner. At least I didn't wait another 6 years and have to add a new date.

    Thanks, everyone for all the positive words!

    Great job on the quilt. Is this a Disappearing 4 patch pattern?

    Thanks, Boston. Here is one of the blocks. I used this same design on all of them, and a feather design on the piano key border. Both were done on the embroidery machine. I got the designs from Embroidery Library. The brown border has a decorative stitch, also from my Baby Lock.

    Thank you. You are absolutely right about the cringing. This top remained a UFO for several years, and when I finally got around to making it into a quilt I completely forgot why I'd put it aside. Ironically, it was because I had decided I wanted to make it bigger, but just didn't feel like it at the time because it already had the borders on it, and that seemed like such a bother. It would have been so much easier if I'd remembered that before quilting!

    Since we all like to make quilts, it only makes sense to make them a size that we can use. I have two quilts that I made for our queen size bed and always have one of them as my bedspread.

    Rose, I must have missed your original post with this lovely quilt. What is the pattern? I looks like one of the 'disappearing x patch" ones but I'd love to know...you did a great job on this and I love the fabrics...so, what's the pattern?

    For those who asked, yes, it is a disappearing 4 patch. Thanks, again, all you good people!
