I received a HUGE surprise in the mail today -- a wallhanging from Elisabrat! It's beautiful -- a pieced block on the front, done in reddish browns and a gold/red/green paisley, bordered with first gold, then a fall leaf print, then black with subtle gray dots. Is there a name for this block, Brat? I love it -- and I love the backing fabric, all cats!
Can't post a picture tonight, but I will tomorrow.
Brat, especially, and Kiffie to have offered many tips and have been talking me through my doubts about being able to do something good enough for all you experienced quilters -- it's been a big help! I'm learning so much all the time.
