For each row, I am taking all of my leftover pieces and putting them into a little storage box that I have for this project....with these pieces, I am hoping to incorporate the various colors of the quilt into a border, or prairie points or something....and that way the colors will all carry though - using some larger pieces for the main borders.....just an idea!

Cool Bill, that is a very good idea! I was thinking of it's being small as well. Maybe I too can do something like that at the end of the project! Woot another segment to the mystery...

Thinking of a vacation.... ahhhhhhhhh maybe in a few months time! Sun, sand, ocean and seafood! Ok, back to cutting!

Hi Sharon,
Yeah,,,,,now we'll all be longing to see how everyone is going to finish this quilt....
With regards to vacation, I leave on May 2nd for 2 weeks in Varadero, Cuba....the white sandy beach is calling me :-)...
Perhaps I can bring some sewing but it will need to be handsewing :-)

That is so very nicely done. I have not been able to get started on the April row yet but you have really set the bar high, you and everyone else who are already finished with the April row.

Ljs, my top looks much better in pictures than it does in real life!

Good job Lisawb..wouldn't it be great if we could find some fabric with the points printed on it. Then we could add little borders and not lose our prints!

Bill, just enjoy the beaches and your vacation....don't bring the sewing, it'll just weigh the baggage down and you'll have to pay for the 'excess baggage'. But do check out the fabric shops while on vacation, I'll bet you'll find some really cool fabric.
Kind Regards,

Great job Lisa! I just love it! And you've convinced me that tomorrow is my quilting day! I've been out in the garden this week. I need to get caught up!
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna
