Thanks, bevanger. this one was for my cousins, first grandson. The cute little animals were machine embroidered. i used the same designs on my first grandsons quilt 7 years ago. at that time joanns had cut jungle prints in different colors that went perfect with the embroideries. this one turned out so diffewrent but still pretty cool.

I'm told that the Navajo intentionally weave flaws into their rugs to allow the evil spirits to escape. When I realize I've done something like this, I just figure the project won't be haunted by evil spririts. I, too, didn't notice the turned blocks at first. I was looking for turned pinwheels. If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought it was supposed to be that way.

I did not know that about the Amish. My ancesters are Amish, and so I'm always interested in learning more about them. My grandmother was an extraordinary quilter. She was Brethren, which is an offshoot of the Amish faith. I like thinking that I have quilting in my blood. Both of your quilts are beautiful.
