I cut the sashing pieces wrong, thus I had to add cornerstones to the sashing. My mistake. It looks okay, but it added more work, and Jeanne S.'s directions are much easier. I will learn to check the directions BEFORE cutting next time.

This quilt is now being used by a lady at the House of Hope in Gainesville, Florida. The House of Hope is a faith-based initiative, and, therefore, depends on community support. I "adopted" the House and decided to make quilts for as many of the ladies as my Bernina and APQS longarm can turn out. This pattern is wonderful and is helping me reach that goal. As each resident leaves the program, she takes her quilt with her, so there is a never-ending need for more quilts. I must keep piecing!
