Wow!!! How nice of you.

The stars you put around the center are perfect -

I noticed that KLue has sent the Friendship Star block several times to use in "group quilts" - so it seemed like a good choice on a couple of levels.

Very dramatic looking.

What a lovely gesture. Your first round looks great. I am sure klue will love it. ciao

Hi love your centre. It is great. I also saw the one with the friendship stars. What a difference a border can make to the centre. your quilts will look so different and yet so beautiful when finished. ciao

The quilt is fantastic, but help me understand the story. Whats IRR?

IRR is 'International Round Robin'.

I can't get over how fantastic the border is here Gai!! When I first saw it, I sent a PM to KLue because I didn't realize this was going on...I'd love to be a layer (or a 'rouge robin') if anyone has to drop out for any reason!! I love KLue, and was really sad to see she dropped out of the IRR with her beautiful centers and all that hard work. She is certainly one of our most talented quilters and her absence just sucks!!! (to be blunt)

Keep on posting, these are awesome!

ESQ

you're making me blush - you're far too kind.

i think the world of you too. too bad we don't have an emoticon that blows a kiss.

Here you go KLue:
