It is lovely!

I too hope she gets it! If you haven't mailed it yet, put "bedding" on the customs form and not "quilt". Add a used shirt and say "used clothing"...and people will let it go through. ;)

I can testify how common mail theft is in Croatia (Montenegro's "sister") - I have a dear friend there and things always go missing, especially when they're mailed between October and February (early and late Christmas presents). I find that my packages are often left alone when I put the Croatian word for the contents on the Customs form right after the English word(s). That seems to help. I was told that quite frankly, if the parcel is coming from the States, the sender can afford to replace the missing contents - this from a Customs agent from former Yugoslavia.

Enough about Customs - WHAT A GORGEOUS QUILT!!!!! I love, love those purples!

What a beautiful quilt. I am sure it will be loved. Can you send it registered mail, or will that make it look like it is worth stealing?

Woody--I peeked at your directions because I was curious if you used half square triangles. You mentioned using light and dark centers, but I only see dark ones. In the photo it looks like all the log cabin halves are the same? Or is my screen color goofy? lol

Will you let us know when she gets this beauty in her hands--or around her shoulders?

I can't imagine how third row third quilt by Karla was done! Wow!
