The quilt is gorgeous! I never thought to try paper piecing that pattern...LOVE paper piecing results! And I might ask...what is wrong with being a yard sale junkie? lol

So, men probably think we're selfish when we do tell them what we're thinking about; when we're thinking about things to make their lives easier, like doing the shopping ourselves so we can take a side trip to the fabric store, etc! LOL Even your beautiful quilt was done to benefit your hubby. Nice job!

Bless your heart for doing this one. I have tried to paper piece and boy that takes patience. Guess I don't have enough of that. Beautiful job there and you can do one of those for me anytime you like. Have a great day.

What a beautiful quilt. I love how you separated the sections. It really should be put in a juried show, it's that wonderful.

Click the "Take the Quilt Tour" button then have a look at the prices of these masterpieces!
Thanks for all of the wonderful compliments. I have since basted an animal print cotton bed skirt to the underside of it with some upholstery thread making it more useful. As it was, it was not quite big enough and DH and I spent the nights fighting over it. Now attached to the skirt, I have more to grab at least :)
