It is a very lovely quilt, love that pattern and the soft colours

Beautiful. Wonderful job on the back too.

It looks like it is a finicky pattern to do. What size is it? Was it difficult and labour intensive?

Hi Deb, thank you for the compliment. It was not difficult to do - there are two basic blocks that alternate and I made my blocks 12 inches (I think one pattern shows them to be 9 inches finished). I did use the "Tri-Recs" triangle templates and it made it much easier. One of the hardest parts for me is usually choosing the fabrics - I tried to use "repro" fabric for the most part or those that would compliment that era. It measures about 88 X 100 inches.
Thank you also for thoughts regarding our "miracle baby" - he is doing exceptionally well and getting cuter every day:).

Wow, love, love, love it. I thing I have that particular magazine!

That's beautiful! Bright, cheery , and finished! Glad to hear your grandson is beefing up. I hope my kids don't decide to live far away. My heart would sink!

Great Job, and what a wonderful use of so many different fabrics.
