Do you think that this magazine will still be in the stores since it is pretty recent? How did you complete this beauty in such a short time? I absolutely LOVE batiks and our LQS has such a beautiful selection.
Did you hand applique or machine? I am lovin' this!! Love the colors and the unusual pattern...

I would be interested in buying your magazine if you are finished with it. pm me, please

I am sorry. I can't sell the magazine. I have two junior quilters who would never forgive me. My youngest daughter has a syndrome that requires her to stay inside a lot during the winter months so she's looking forward to making the quilt on the cover of the magazine. She's 7 and normally she's in tears come winter when her sister and friends are outside but when she saw this yo-yo quilt, she lit up. There's a few others in there that my oldest daughter has tagged.

It took me about 2 weeks to complete the top, by separating the quilt into steps. Then it took me a week to quilt it, though those weeks weren't back to back. :lol: With two little girls, I just couldn't. But, I did post a pic of the magazine cover below. They might still sell this on the website, on this board or even on ebay.

This is the cover of the exact issue I used.
