This is going to be stunning. :D And BTW thanks for sharing the pics with 'helpers' and where they've rumpled it up - such fun to see how you work! :D

I was not either with the one piece in, but I have learned to follow my instints and just go with it, It has helped turn out some pretty nice quilts. I got in here this morning to a bigger mess, I should have worked harder last night at getting it done I guess, but I find it makes it easier to fit the pieces if I take a break and go back in a bit. it seems to be workeing not to bad. I hope today it will be off of the floor.

Thank Chris, maybe someone can volunteer to come and hand me pieces, all this running back and forth is killing me.

i am not sure who it is for, it is just something that I wanted to try.


oooh, oooh, oooh (my hand is waiving in the air)...PICK ME, PICK ME!!!! It's so pretty, I promise to treat her royally!!

Unfortunatley if I pick you, then all the other kiddies will want one too, I am not sure that I am up to making that many quilts, though you never know, Pretty soon I am going to have a stack of quilts here.

Thank you so much,


So I got the animals to leave it alone for all of 5 mins, enough time to take a picture and that is about it, There will be more rearranging as it goes together. Yes I am being slower than mollases in Jan today.

sandpat 08-04-2009 03:45 PM

Well, I still see progress and I still like it!!!

Shemjo 08-04-2009 04:01 PM

If I could teach them that it would be great. They would get kind of slobbery but they are now anyway. I usually have it on the table but this one wouldn't fit and since I have to lay the whole thing out to see all of the pieces I couldn't even just squish them. I have rearranged a lot of it from the beginning, (some with the help) but it was easier than ending up with all the same blocks at the ends, that was my main goal.

amma 08-04-2009 04:10 PM

More progress!!! It's Lookin' better all the time!!! :D :D :D

littlehud 08-04-2009 07:52 PM

That is going to be beautiful. Will you be using black for the filler?
