The hardest part, for me, for trying to get the colors right, where they wouldn't be all grouped together ... I finally laid them all out on the floor, stacked them and numbered each row.

    They are FUN and EASY

    Missus ... to get the fuzzy edges, you sew wrong sides together (on the front of the quilt), so all seam allowances are towards the front. The back of this quilt (off white Kona), looks finished.

    After it's all sewn together, you clip down to the seam line and then wash/dry it (preferably at the laundromat); and each washing rags up a bit more. This had only been washed one time.

    But I am thrilled to have it on my bed .... it is just a nice weight for summer

    It must be comfortable, your "model" seems to love it.

    Here is another pix of our Ollie ... the one on the quilt did not show his BLUE eyes!!! He must be part Siamese somewhere, but his mother was black!!!

    Sorry he showed up twice ... that must mean he is twice as cute!!! (But new at posting pics here ... so sorry )
