Thanks for all the kind words. She's going to be off to North Carolina tomorrow for spring break, so I can get it out again after she leaves. teee heeee.
Thanks for sharing the pattern! It is truly lovely....Please post pictures after this is quilted. Can't wait to see what you do with that.
I can't wait to see what I do with the quilting either. haha. I never know until I get started. I was thinking stippling in the "shadow" and just meandering elsewhere. Anyone with a better suggestion? Don't get to fancy with the suggestions. I'm a beginner-quilter. what thread would you use? Most of the blocks are dark, but I don't want to use dark thread on the light colored blocks?
I would use a white or very light thread in the light areas, and change to a darker thread for the darker blocks. Maybe a bit more work wtih changing threads but I think a much better result.
