I just viewed your quilt, Joy. It is absolutely beautiful! Were your strips 6 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inched wide? :)

Hello everyone! My name is Bonita and I am a new member. I just retired last May to care for my mother until she passed away. I started my first quilt last September and have been taking classes to learn different patterns and techniques. I have enjoyed this newsletter. I am from Indiana.

I've been sewing 35 yrs and quilting going on 16 yrs now. I know where Danville is. I'm going to send you my e-mail address, on your PM, If you like send me a e-mail. I check everyday, What are you working on? What style of quilting do you prefer.

Thank you, Bonita, for your kind words re my quilt... yes you have the correct measurements.... I have seen a photo of another one recently and it had four different colours whereas mine had three, and the way it was set up there was only one colour going zig zag up the quilt... so the pieces must have been longer than six and a half inches.... what do you think? Joy.

Thank you for your kind words, Bonita, yes you have the correct measurements....
