    You've created a lovely quilt!

    You have put the 4-H motto "Learn to Do by Doing!" to full use and learned much. Look at how much your skills have developed with this one quilt ... and how much more with the next one!

    Any chance you can show us the virgin fabric?
    Please? and Thanks!

    This is all the fabric I have left, but this was the original fabric I started with. It took me almost a year to make this because I kept putting it down. I've done so many in the meantime, but I didn't want this to sit as a UFO for ever, so it was where I could see it each and every day. The fabric is a little brighter than this, the colors in it are really pretty, not dull.

    Original fabric in center pinwheels

    Well. It turned out great and the few lessons you share help us all! Isn't it just amazing what we can do when we don't give up.
    peace

    I like the "virgin" fabric line!

    Thanks for posting your pic ... it is a lovely fabric and so appropriate for OBW/SAW, as you have proven!

    I would say that 'Ivy' did a terrific job and ended up with a beautiful quilt. Most would have given up early on and had another ufo for the closet. Do glad you stayed with it and ended up with a great quilt!

    Love this! Very creative to put the squares inside another square like you did to make up for the different sizes!
