All I did was applique and embroider it, I did not pick the colors, A neighbor in Woodscross Utah gave me the kit with no directions,so I put it together a little at a time as my former husband was having cancer treatments in the hospital, then I got the directions as to the embroidery part just before my neighbor passed away,It sat for several more years as my husband suffered from more cancer, he died in early 2003, Then later on I married again,I finally quilted it and I entered the quilt in the Mohave Co fair, won first place, would have won best of show but the quilting lines would not come out so it has little blue dots on it , And in November I took second in Peoples choice in our local quilt show :thumbup:
