I have plenty to share if you need any. I know they are costly from the companies, like 45.00 for a card of 20.
The SunBonnet Sue quilt has some 3 dimensional parts on it too, like the hair sticking out from under their hats. It's embroidery floss. Turned out cute.

All your quilts are gorgeous, love the car quilt. I never would have seen the mix-up if you hadn't said anything, it should be x-y-z. I would leave it just for interest ( I think ) maybe I wouldn't. Thank you for sharing.

I am so thrilled that I received so many comments. I just posted about 3 hours ago. I really appreciate it. Thanks
I am 71, been sewing since I was 19 when I got my first sewing machine, Pfaff while in Germany.
I have 3 children, 6 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.
Can't count how many quilts I've made over the years. I have a UFO basket quilt top that was given to me in 1960 by my mother-in-law. She had it a long time before me and she never got around to finishing it either. I know it's between 50 and 70 years old. I saw someone else had a basket quilt on this board and I pulled mine out of my stash and it is still strong and almost new looking. I think that will be my next project. I need to get a name and date on it.

Yes, it was the X and Y --- I sent it to my brother and he didn't see it either. My sister sent me an e-mail telling me to go back to school and practice my ABC's, so my brother sent it back and I fixed it. What an embarrassment.
