Thanks everyone for your kind remarks.
roseOfsharon,
If I can give you a bit advice for the snowflakes, use spray starch on those triangles before you sew. I hate doing HSTs of any size and those little ones were daunting. I am a really stubborn person and decided I would do them. I found they were easier to work with when the fabric was fairly stiff from the starch. Also use leaders before you chain sew them so the machine won't eat the triangles as easily.
Mine aren't perfect but they are satisfactory. You can do it.

We are going to Paris in April so it can't get here fast enough!
I also haven't been able to guess what April's row will be and I love surprises.
Looking forward to seeing roseOfsharon's snowflakes.

Ohhh... inquiring minds ... you know what ... :mrgreen:
The quilt is called Le Jardin using Rouenneries by French General from Moda fabric, the BOM can be purchased from The Thrifty Needle or Quilter's Shop, both are dot.com stores online. www.thethriftyneedle.com is a little cheaper for the BOM. There's plenty of applique involved with this one and applique is new to me, so it's challenging. It's just so...oh la la French!
Kind Regards,
